No. A catalytic converter wont. If its a rear wheel drive, check your drive shaft. Front Wheel drive, CV Joints. Other than that worn steering. Exhaust wont cause this issue.

Will a clogged catalytic converter cause high degree of grit in exhaust?
Yes
What would cause a noise from the rear of vehicle?
It could be objects shaking in the trunk or something loose on the rear license plate or a problem with the catalytic converter or exhaust pipes.
What could cause a catalytic converter to rattle.?
Catalytic converters do not rattle. If it does it will need to be replaced as it may block the exhaust. Loose heat shield?
Will a bad catalytic converter cause air to suck in through exhaust?
No, but it will make a sucking type sound.
Can a cracked exhaust manifold cause the check engine light to come on?
Yes, it can affect the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter.Yes, it can affect the oxygen sensors and catalytic converter.
How do you know catalytic converter is bad?
A bad catalytic converter will cause a severely restricted exhaust system. You would notice a lack of power and performance from you vehicle and in cases of a completely blocked converter, the engine may not run.
Why does the exhaust manifolds on your 2000 E250 4.2 get red hot?
Normally a blocked catalytic converter or a blocked exhaust will cause that problem. Back pressure, means the gasses cannot escape. thus causing the manifolds to glow.
Can a catalytic converter problem cause your car to stop running?
Yes if it is totally clogged.
Why egr valve melts solenoid in 2000 voyager?
Probable cause is exhaust restriction, possible plugged catalytic converter.
What can cause a rattling sound on a 2007 hummer h3?
Check the heat shield on the catalytic converter Check exhaust hangers
Where is the 02 sensor code P0420 bank 1 in a '99 Mercury Cougar V6?
Answercatalytic converter efficiency below threshold.http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/TSB0197HO2SServiceTips.htm see web site for sensors locations, copy and paste website in address.....A code PO420, catalytic converter efficiency below threshold, is more likely an indication of a catalytic converter problem, not the sensor. There are different codes that would indicate a sensor problem. However, it is possible that a sensor problem may be the cause of the catalytic converter code appearing. The sensors (newer cars have two or more) measure the differences between exhaust gas before and after the converter(s). Faulty sensors could indicate a faulty converter when it might be the sensors' bad measurements that are the cause. However, a faulty sensor should also generate a bad sensor code. Sometimes another indicator of a bad catalytic converter might be a vibration in the exhaust system near the converter caused by pressure in the converter or a breakdown of the honeycomb material inside the converter.
Can a burned exhaust valve cause any other damage?
Depending on the vehicle, it could damage the catalytic converter over time.
