    Default Steering Problem

    So I just bought that MX73 Cressy on the forums, everything is sweet, but one thing i have to fix is the steering.

    When you drive, and turn left, the car wont turn, until you turn it another half notch....

    Sound like an expensive fix???

    Lots of toe-out can do that, maybe need alignement.
    But look under it first to see that nothing moves that shouldnt.

    do they have a rack? if so check the bushes that connect the rack to the crossmember. They may be loose/so worn that the whole rack moves.
