Frame on the vehicle broke, causing the vehicle to make noise, such as popping and knocking sounds when trying the steering wheeel. *ak | |||
Frame appears to have a stress crack at the point where the steering box is bolted to it. the car is not driven in the winter, has 75,000 original miles on it, is kept in a garage and has no rust on any part of the frame or body. also it was never involved in an accident. the crack was discovered by my merchanic when the steering started to drift while driving. it was found that due to this crack the steering box moves because the frame is no longer rigid at that point. |
