I think the bearing broke, when you try to turn to the left the steering wheel just spins up and doesn't turn the wheels, but if you turn to the right it turns just fine. I took it to the shop for repair the first time it happened, and they told me it was a crushed bearing and charged me $190.00 to fix it. Then I got 5 hours out of it, and it happened again.Can anyone tell me what to do?

Until you get it fixed, remember: 2 wrongs don't make a right, but 3 rights will make a left.

Mike..... ...take it back to 'em and really complain..... First bearings lasted for 50 years, second one for 5 hours..... For $190 I'd really complain. This is one of the things you pay good money for and most reputable shops will try to make things "right".....

In the repair business, this is known as "call backs" and really eats the profit margins which is why your local auto repair emporium WILL NEVER spend the mechanics time to "rebuild" something when they can bill the customer for a brand new part and not have to worry about "call backs"..... ...

Not much help I'm afraid, sorry..... ..Dell
