Description of the problem | I have a knocking sound in my steering wheel. The noise happens when i turn the wheel back and forth. Also, i have noticed an odd grinding/slipping sensation in the front left wheel when i accelerate on a right turn from different elevations. Pulling out of a parking lot on a "decline" while accelerating to the right to enter traffic is a good example. 73,000 miles currently but i've noticed the grind/slip a lower mileage. |
