This is for my 96 civic with 106k...

So lately I think something has been going wrong with my car.

Before thanksgiving, my car slid twice in the rain, while i was driving cautiously...tires seem to have enough thread.

Driving it today, there seems to be play in the steering wheel and if you quickly jerk the wheel from one side the other, the car doesnt respond all that fast. My power steering fluid is low, but i dont think that could cause this..

Possible Problems?

 

I don't think anything in your suspension or steering would cause you to spin out in the rain fo rno reason.

 

why is it low? is it leaking? maybe you need a new rack.

 

sounds like a steering issue more than an suspension issue. Possibly a rack issue?

 

When you say "slid" do you mean you hit the brakes and the car slid without stopping or you were just driving normally and the car started to slide?
