hi, i know that just reading this probably won't tell you what exactly is wrong with my car, but any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated...
i have a 95 chevy lumina. 66k miles. (hooray for getting it from my grandma!) my steering feels wonky, for lack of a better word. it feels like the road is in more control of the car than me. when i go around curves on the highway, i can feel it pulling left and right in the steering wheel. the thing is is that this comes and goes! i noticed it earlier this summer, maybe a month or two ago, and had someone look at it and they said nothing was wrong. maybe a power steering flush, but didn't do it (he wrote it on the invoice, but told me that he wouldn't bother with it..??). well, let me tell you there is something wrong because it's worse now. sometimes, i'll take it down a straight road, and jerk it left and jerk it right. it will respond to the jerk left, but it won't jerk right until i pull it further! while it is often that direction, sometimes it doesn't jerk left either. i checked the power steering fluid, and it needed it, but i added some and it hasn't changed anything.
i would say that the steering feels loose, except it doesn't always feel that way. i would say that it feels like i'm losing my power steering, except it doesn't feel hard to control, like i have to force it to listen to me, just that it's not listening to me...sometimes. it's like a combination of these things. HELP! any ideas on what it could be?? i don't want to have to deal with getting a ride to work and all all over again just to have them tell me "there's nothing wrong" again...
thanks
