well lately i've noticed that my steering feels different... it feels stiffer. and sometimes has stiff spots... anyone know what this could mean?

i think its time for some tune-ups.. my brakepads + rotors are past dead.. my oilpan is leaking(think the gasket is rotten)... and to top it off a taillight bulb blew today lol. anyone else feel the same about their car? the fix list grows.

help me on the steering situation tho.. thanks.

yeah but im lazy.. lol j/k.
axles are common too, i replaced one 3 months ago.

funny thing happened, i turned on my rear wiper... first time since last fall.. anyways, when it got to the top of the back window, it got stuck on the spoiler lol.. it was wedged in there good too. i had to yank it out, but it appears to be ok now

anyone know what the steering prob is? it really bugs me. could it be ball joints or anything down at the front wheels?

It's probably your rack and pinion, but a shop can tell you for sure. Usually if the ball joints are worn the steering get sloppier (a shop can give you a definate answer here as well). Either way this is a serious problem and you should get it fixed ASAP right along with your brakes. Good luck.

Yea my fix it list is pretty long, mostly cosmetics, need new tail lights, corner lenses and fog lights. by the way how much is silicone? becuase i wanna clean out my fog lights, and get all the water out of them. Inside of my car when i got it the am/fm radio didnt work, had no speakers, has a nice dent in the front of the car, bumper is cracked, front and back, i only have one mud flap on the car anymore...ha ha my car isnt a fix it, its falling apart....yea that was long.

and who really cares..ha ha

silicone is like $3 at your local hardware store. I had to redo my right taillight the other day cause it was leaking pretty bad.

i got a quick question to add on here tho... my steering wheel squeeks like a mofo when u turn it, what should I do 2 fix it??

my steering wheel squeaks too

WD40 stops squeaks, but its maybe not the best thing to be spraying in there
