99 GP GT: Weird Steering Problem
My 99 GP GT has developed a weird steering problem. As soon as the car gets up to 30+ MPH, when going through a slight, developing (sweeping) right curve, the car will tend to want to veer to the right. This situation doesn't happen in left turns. The driver can feel it in the steering wheel as it will want to veer and to prevent it from happening is to grip the wheel firmly and "fight it " for the few moments it happens to stay in the middle of the lane. You can really tell when it wants to veer while driving 70 mph and you steer into a sweeping right curve on the highway. Any thoughts to the problem?

Re: 99 GP GT: Weird Steering Problem
Hi Makr,
I would point you to a front end inspection, worn suspension components can cause the car to wander and steer weird. Do this ASAP as it can be a dangerous condition. Oscar.

Re: 99 GP GT: Weird Steering Problem
Does this vehicle have Magnasteer equipped steering gear? There may be a problem with the actuator. If this is the case, the gear will need replaced as the actuator is part of the gear. Since the problem is only in one direction,and at a particular speed,this is probably the case. The magnasteer gets its speed reading from the ABS module. As stated above, verify all ft end components ar in good condition.
