Ok, so I have a 1999 Protege ES and Im at a loss at this point. So long story short, at slow speeds, I turn left, steering seems to bind the release with a bang. As I drove it to work I could feel that when I would steer left it wanted to pull everso slightly to straight. I had my mechanic pick it up at work and we have done all the small lesser expensive repair/replacements already. sway arm links, lower control arms, new axles and seals and rack and pinion have all been replaced. Still does it and has also leaked all trans fluid twice now. A, has anyone else had this issue and B, what did you find out to be the problem. We are looking for a full trans swap now as that a rebuild on a 230k+ mile trans is not ideal. Does anyone have any insight? Thoughts?
Please help. I cant really drive the work truck for much longer. $100+ a week in gas is not the same as $36 every 12 days...Im dying here. HELP PLEASE!
ALSO, I have new strut assemblies installed about a year now. I keep hearing strut tops or steering universal joint maybe? Any insight?
