H20 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 i have a 2001 civic and the problem i've been experiencing is when i try to turn, the steering wheel pops back the other way. i.e. when i try to turn right from a red light the steering wheel tries to turn to the left, i have to fight it. it happens with both left and right turns. however if i turn while the car is moving i don't experience any problems. any thoughts?

I don't know if its just me starting too quickly/the rain the past few days making it slippery/my low profile tires/or 2001 civics/ or a combination of these?

H20 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 it happens if i start quickly as well, but it doesn't feel like i lose traction. could it be tie rods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicotunner95 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 it happens if i start quickly as well, but it doesn't feel like i lose traction. could it be tie rods? sounds like some kind of problem with your power steering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 sounds like some kind of problem with your power steering! I dunno, for now, I've just been trying to start slowly, esp in the rain. I don't race or anything so I don't need to worry bout my starts.o:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
