After backing out of my driveway, I shifted into first and cut the wheel to the left to get my car parallel to the road that we would travel along. I feel like it took a great deal more motion than usual to get the car in the direction it needed to be going. 30 feet later at the intersection I took a left, and once again it felt like I was turing the steering wheel around and around far more than usual. However, slight corrections, lane changes, things like that feel almost fine, but there is definitely a bit more play in the wheel than usual. I did run my errands and driving about town things seem, for the most part, fine. Still, I fear that there is bad news coming from this group of well schooled individuals (grumble, this is so not the birthday present I wanted).
1. Could this have anything to do with the fact that with the windchill it is -17F in our fair capital city?
2. What is not right with the car? (Mind you, tie rod ends were done in December thanks to meganuke, a dremel tool, and a hacksaw, and the car then had an alignment right after the holiday.)
