Sometimes when you slow down a lot you lose some of the power steering. I know this shouldn't happen, but I don't really know how to fix it. I'm pretty sure it would have something to do with slowing down quickly.

I think i paid 24 or something like that. I replaced them when i did my cd boots. There not hard at all to do. Maybe what 15 minutes if everything goes smooth.

this was on my taurus and i hit a mother of a pothole. it broke the upper and lower tie rod ends on the left side and both tie rods on the right side. it cost me damn near $700 to fix.
