90 Fox has a wierd steering glitch
Every now and then, the steering wheel on my Fox will jerk to the left,
as if something might be binding. Funny that it's intermittant. My VW mechanic has more or less bailed on the problem as Foxes aren't the models he's the most familiar with. My other regular mechanic has inspected the front end and has found nothing out of the ordinary. I'm stumped. Any thoughts before I put the old girl up for sale? Thanks. |

I do hope you're not selling it because of the steering As long as the front end is aligned there isn't much to do about it. And some cars even when aligned are still susceptible to the steering wheel jerking a little bit when hitting a bump (are we talking that it does this when you hit a bump?) simply because of the geometry of the front suspension and steering. My '91 GTI reacts to bumps and uneven road surfaces this way. |
