When I make a turn the steering wheel does not want to return to the center position. The power steering seems to be working ok. The wheel turns pretty easy when the car is not moving. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this problem.

thanks Jim

 

One of my friends had this problem with thier car. you can take it to a tire shop such as hibdon tires if there is one where you live and they can take of the problem for you. forgot what they actually did but shouldnt cost too much.

 

thanks, but I have swapped tires with another accord that I owne so the tires are not the problem.

 

im not talking about swapping the tires, when you go to a tire shop and tell them your problem they can fix it for you. i forgot exactly how to fix it but you should be able to call them and ask what the problem is and from there you might be able to fix it yourself or there at the shop for minimal prices.

 

Get under the car (preferably with the wheels off) and see if you can spot the front lower control arms being bent. The bent LCAs throw off the caster, which causes the problems you describe. Or you can take the car to a tire/alignment shop and have them check it out.

Yes, have your alignment checked.
