Why is My Steering Wheel Loose?
You get in your car and start driving, only to notice that the steering wheel feels loose. It doesn’t feel like you have accurate control of the direction of your tires and it may be hard to keep the steering wheel straight. You may also notice that even when you turn your wheel an inch or so, the tires don’t move. This can be extremely dangerous when it comes to driving on the road with your vehicle in this condition.Â
