Ok this is on my beater civic... anyhow I knew that there was a specific part that would cause this but I have forgotten what it is, and well this is a pretty annoying thing.

In a non broken car when you turn your steering wheel when going around a corner etc your wheel will straighten itself back out after you complete the turn. On my civic it doesnt do this, it will l stay in the exact position it was turned at. What in the hell is broken???

 

Anyone??

 

You need an alignment and toe adjusted. I asked this question a few days ago and recently got a alignment and everything works the way it's suppose to If you're on budjet you could atempt to adjust the toe yourself Hope this helps

 

Cool thankx... I thought the alignment would help, but I wasnt sure if there was just something broken.... I couldnt remember.

 

check your bushings and balljoints....if you havent done anything to damage the car before this started happeneing, youve most likely got a dead bushing/balljoint.

 

its actually caster that centers your steering wheel.

lets hope its just an alingment

FWD cars dont really have much caster adjustment. probably bushings or worse.

 

Ehhh Ill take a look under there.... I have a full 94 coupe parts car...its my old car that I wrecked..... this is just my beater...215k of fury.

 

my friend just had the same problem in a 97 ex. it was a bad steering rack. Only thing he had happen was it wouldnt return to center at all. But that might be a worst case.
