Don't know much about steering systems so I hope someone can give some insight.
I almost broadsided a cop the other day. Let me explain. I have an 84 Caprice,305 ,automatic 700r4. About once a week the steering goes 'completely' out while turning corners. Also seems like the brakes go down at the same time but that part may be my imagination since I am in such a panic stricken state . I turn corners at a slow enough speed,so it's not that. And the steering comes back in as the car is stopping.
The steering system is the type that has the steering lines connected to the brake system (booster?)
This car has done this 3 times and after stopping 3-4 ft.from one of Columbus's finest ( I don't want to be pistol whipped and billyclubed all the way to the jail.) it's parked untill I can repair it. Any suggestions? Well,,,,ones other than wearing crash helmets and putting F.O.P. stickers on.
