I have been having on going problems with my 2009 base model steering,suspension etc.. I just had my rear struts replaced, but I'm always thinking I have a flat tire and or the car wonders more then it should.I have taken it to Les Schwab several times(they did the struts), to have them check suspension,wheels etc.. they assure me that there isn't any problems. But I know something isn't right with the driving stability of the car. I recently had work done on my car and my mechanic told me that my car needed an alignment, and or wheels balanced I have had all this done real recently. I'm starting to think maybe it's the steering ?? I can turn my steering wheel around twice before it stops. Please help

And i can help you more.


But I would check the LCAB Lower control arm bushings for play / cracks , also check the tire pressure in your tires, make sure they are up, when they are really low the car tends to wonder. How loose is the steering , do you have a video ?
