Steering problems

[juliemac57 at hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

One of the tie rods is adjustable. The other is solid. On my car, the 
threads on the tie rod had stripped a few threads allowing the outer tie rod 
section to "slip". This caused the car problems with the steering like you 
described.

Replaced, the problem disappeared.
Good luck!
