Park Avenue

  • 134,000 miles
My wife came home and stated this car was driving wobbly and making a noise.I inspected vehicel and found the following. Vehicle steering rack seperated from cradle..first noticed loud noise when steering rotated lock to lock..visual inspection could see tie rod contacting right side unibody rail...closer inspection found casting or rack housing cracked and seperated from it's mounting point on right side..this allowed steering rack to lift up and bind against right rail or vehicle inner structure...loss of steering and control when attempting to steer vehicle.
