skeemer Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I just started noticing this the other day. When I take turns at moderate to high speed (25+ mph) I feel a very slight sliding feeling for a split second. Its kind of hard to describe, its almost like the feeling when you start turning on ice and the car continues to go straight, but it only happens for a split second and then the car begins turning. Its very smooth, its not like the tires are jerking or dragging across the asphalt. I haven't had enough time to notice if it happens on concrete as well. None of my passangers have been able to notice it, so maybe its all in my mind, or maybe its because I'm connected to the pedal and the wheel. I've checked my tires and they're all at 34 psi (Michelin Pilots) on the stock 15" rims. Could this be my tires or my suspension, or is this all in my imagination?

xxxavier2k Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Is there any play in the steering wheel when the car is at a stand still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeemer Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 Nah, no more than a centimeter or two, or nothing that I've noticed atleast. And if there is any its been like that since I've got it because I would have noticed a change if it was getting worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxxavier2k Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I've realised that nobody on this site has mentioned problems with their steering rack bushing (driver's side). But I had to get mine replaced recently and my symptoms were a similar sliding at first then it got worse.... much worse!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
