What owners wrote
Each of the failures occurring in my 1996 chrysler lhs has been costly. The failure of the o rings, the failure of the steering linkages, and lastly, the failure of the rack and pinion bushings. The critical failure of each of these components occurred with the items made of rubber. In the case of the rack & pinion, my mechanic finds it incredible that he cannot just replace the bushings. As it is he has to buy a new rack assembly + charge me for the labor and expense of removing and replacing the rack.
1.cluncking,grinding, doesn't steer properly 2.every time it's on the road 3.parts will be replaced when we have the money to do so.
