First, slow down to the speed limit. Have a mechanic check that your tires are balanced and are in good shape. In addition, make sure that your shocks and struts do not need replacing. In this age of a car, it may be that they are failing.
Loose steering: You notice how steering wheel is very easy to move and feels sloppy. It creates an difficult feeling on the highway because it seems you have no control of your car.POSSIBLE CAUSES: - Steering linkage is worn and parts need to be restored.- Steering linkage may be loose and need to be tightened.- Your steering box needs adjusting.
It is posable to have bad ball joints. Get it checked IMMIDIATLY!
Lawfully.... No !!! How many times while driving on a highway have you seen peices of a tire strewn on the pavement? That's from a rear tire and even then would be difficult to control the vehicle in a safe manner to the shoulder and stop. Think what would happen if it occurred on a steering tire? Hello ??!, steering tire ! does that raise any questions or ideas ? Better check your DOT manal, you can run recaps on anything but the steers of a bus...
You are driving your car with cruise control but you steer around a bend in the highway. The cruise control keeps your speed constant, but by steering you change your direction and thus your velocity is not constant.
encroachment of highway
Curves with hills, especially after a long straight part of the highway.
NV7 is with Variable Effort Steering. N40 is with Non-Variable Effort Steering. Check the "Service Parts Identification" sticker for your car. Variable Effort Steering will have an electronic control valve on one side of the power steering pump with an electrical connector. The Variable Effort Steering "EVO" valve adjust the amount of power steering assist. It is intended to make the steering stiffer at higher speeds. This helps prevent the vehicle from wandering at highway speeds.
