I just replaced the driver side front caliper. Everything went smoothly. Bled the brakes, test drove, everything seemed fine. Anyways, drove to class today, and as I turned into a parking spot, I felt my steering wheel lock for a second. I pulled in then started to play with the steering wheel. It would turn a bit, lock for a second, keep turning, lock for a second and so on. Both directions. Any ideas? The car is a 98 ex coupe.

i'm sorry if this has been covered before - i'm in class right now and don't have time to search or check the car. I'm also in a rush because I have to drive to the airport later today :s

thanks in advance!!

 

It doesn't sound like it has to do with the brakes. I had this problem on a truck and it was the steering box. Every quarter of a turn or so it would feel like it locked up and you had to fight it to keep turning the wheel.

 

Do you have PS?

 

ya I have PS. I'll look into the steering box then. How dangerous is it to drive the car like this lol. Such bad timing!!

 

don't mean to sound like an ***, but can anyone give me some specific things to look for? I'm running out of time here :s

 

sorry to waste your time guys..turns out my PS pump mounting bolt was loose. tightened her up and she's good to go!!
