97 Concorde steering issues
I have a 97 Chrysler Concorde, 136,000 miles roughly. Steering is loose and
hard to control at times. I've heard everything from bad rack and replace it at big cost, to just replacing worn rubber bushings. Anyone else with similar year/mileage Concorde have the same issues and what ended up being the problem? |

Was the suspension recall done on that car?

take it somewhere you fell good about the service and have them check it out
esp. now with the price of gas you want a front end that has as little rolling resistance as possible and drives true wrote: > I have a 97 Chrysler Concorde, 136,000 miles roughly.

The inner tie rod ends wear out quickly on this car because the steering
rack is located above the engine in a high heat zone. Put the front end up on jack stands and have someone hold the steering wheel steady while you try to rotate the front wheels as if they were being steered. If there is play in the system, i.e. you can make the wheel turn while the steering wheel is held tight, you've found at least one problem. If you aren't sure about it, get it checked out at a competent fron end shop. The life you save could be your own. > wrote in message . .. >I have a 97 Chrysler Concorde, 136,000 miles roughly.

How about the recall to re-enforce the chasis where the front end attaches
by adding a clamp? Doesn't that apply tp 97 model year? "maxpower" > wrote in message ... > > > wrote in message > . .. >> I have a 97 Chrysler Concorde, 136,000 miles roughly.

Read this thread that started only yesterday on the 300M Enthisiasts Club forums: http://300mclub.100megs42.com/forums...pic.php?t=8359 It bears out what I said earlier.
