1995 Honda Civic coupe ex
Automatic Transmission
150,000 miles
I've been dealing with this problem now for some time, and would be extremely grateful if someone could help me out with a solution. I tried looking in other posts to see if I could find a similar problem but I couldn't find anything.
I've been having trouble with my Honda the past couple months. The problem first started on the highway, my steering wheel will sometimes vibrate extremely hard and pull off to the right, so hard that I have to use two hands to hold on to the wheel to try to maintain control of the car. When it does this, I can hear a loud clunking noise, and I can feel vibrations throughout the car. It seems to happen randomly, and usually stops after about a minute, but is pretty scary.
I've done a few things to try to correct the issue. I topped off all the fluids, I might be leaking coolant but I don’t think that has anything to do with the problem. I've had the tires rebalanced and I also got an alignment. I've taken it to two different places and they've inspected the front end of my car visually and they said they couldn't find anything that looks worn or that's not where it should be. Is there something that can't be visually seen that could effect the steering?
I've also noticed that my steering wheel shakes when cornering, and the problem gets even worse if I try to step on the gas while in a corner. Like I said the car shops didn't find anything, but I think it could be a serious problem.
