i need advice, when im parking my car my steering wheel starts to vibrate as i turn it all the way. im thinking its my ball joint that is a little screwed up. what do you guys think? also when i hit potholes my car makes a vibrating sound and it feels like im going to lose control.

THANKS!

 

Have you had any shop look at it? Is it under warranty still? Have you done anything with the suspension at all or recently?

 

you turn the steering wheel until it stops and you're feeling vibration? That's because you're over extending the pump at the steering stops (inside the steering rack housing). Keep that up, holding the steering at the stops, and you'll ruin the rack and power steering pump.

If you're having steering issues, and you have an 05 tC, then there is a TSB for updating the rack and power steering pump assembly. They came out with a better part. That could be the cause of your vibration sounds.

 

nope didnt mod anything on the suspension yet. bring it to the shop this weekend and i have the 06 model TC. thanks i'll definitely look into it

 

oh an 06? hmmm.. that TSB was for the 05's the 06's were supposed to have used the new parts, unless yours was early. definitely look into it.
