Re: [tech] Steering Is Pooched, Causes?

[David LeDeaux <dask@lcc.net>]

This is usually a sign that alignment is out of whack... The only thing I
can think is that for some reason, someone got a little nut-removal-happy
when they were doing your brakes, and threw off your camber.  Or maybe they
pounded something off... who knows... My car did this when I changed my
struts (I was expecting some alignment probs) but it's nothing that can't
be fixed...
