: I've been having a problem with my steering recently. Sometimes when I turn a corner...after the turn the car will straighten, but the wheel will be about 45 degrees counterclockwise from where it is usually centered...then after a little while going straight (sometimes after a little bump or just out of the blue) the wheel shifts back all at once to it's centered position...and the car kind of veers to the left a little as it's recentering...this problem i'm having is kind of hard to explain, but i hope maybe somebody knows what i'm talking about and can help...
: Check your Control Valve for sticking, your Rag Joint may be trashed, or the steering rod in the column may also need to be checked.

: it's a 73 302 with power steering...i replaced the left lower control arm and both lower control arm bushings and realigned about 3 months ago or so....
