Exposure to dirt, road salt, and other harsh road conditions can cause wear and tear on your steering arms or cause connections to loosen. One way to test your steering arm assemblies is to try to turn the steering wheel while your vehicle is parked. If you can turn the steering wheel a significant amount without resistance, then you may have a worn idler or pitman arm. |
