    somethings up with my steering...?

    a few weeks ago i started my car and was backing up out of my parking spot and when i turned the wheel i heard this nasty ass sound (like something is rubbing or gridding or something) so i turned the wheel all the way left then all the way right and back and forth a few times and it stopped making the noise when turned the wheel. this would happen every time i started the car.. after about a week it stopped doing it all together and i figured everything is fine, now just this morning it started doing it again... i got under the car, all of the bushings seem in cood condition and theres no wiggling around at all

    anyone have any suggestions?

    Check the dust shields to make sure one of them is not rubbing on the rotor.

    it cant be that because it only does it when i start the car, it doesnt do it when i'm driving

    i dont know too much about steering, is there a power steering pump or something, where is the power steering resivoir on a 98 v6?

    Should be on the left side closer to the front than back

    Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens.

    If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist, you’d better vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.
