Steering Issues?
 
Has anyone ever had steering issues? I am having a hard time turning right...... IE when I make even close to an aggressive right turn my steering seems to "give out" for lack of a better term...... It feels like I stripped some gears or some CV joint in the steering column is not connected correct. This problem has only came up since my last and Third engine replacement. I did find a funny bolt that seemingly came from no where when I took off my bumper the other day.


I may be a bit biased since I have had so much trouble with the dealer that replaced the engine and am trying not to point fingers or make assumptions that they messed up the Reinstall of the Engine. Just trying to think from a technical stand point. Thanks Guys!

Ok looking more in the Torque sensing Module but I am not getting a cell at all. Where is the Module and Said connector? This kinda makes sense to me as I have no problem at parking lot speeds but at even 50% throttle or better.... it feels like something broke or got disconnected.

I had a similar problem when they took apart my dash, took it back and they said the "steering sensor" had come out of alignment and needed to be recalibrated. They tried to charge me for it but when i pitched a fit about how i didnt have the problem before they tore apart the car, that it was their problem to fix.

Cool steering sensor on my list! I am great at checking out electrical issues but not so much the mechanical stuff.

d/c the battery for 5min then reconnect it, turn the wheel lock-to-lock (right and left) and then back to center to finish the reset.
