Description of the problem | The tie-rods in my 1994 chrysler concorde have failed repeatedly since i purchased this vehicle, causing excessive vibrations as well as depleted steering ability. Additionally my steering wheel is approx. 45 degrees offset from center. My dealer replaced my tie-rods at approx. 150,000 miles under warranty purchased with my vehicle. My vehicle is at 173,680 miles now and the tie-rods are once again in need of replacement. I am concerned these parts are deffective due to excessive force put on them because of a severe vibration in the steering column. It has been less than six months since the tie rods were last replaced, and even after they were replaced the last time my dealership was unable to return the steering wheel to the center position for forward travel. |
