STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, STEERING:RACK AND PINION
(1) EVENTS: NORMAL DRIVING. (2) LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL ON 1997 CHRYSLER LHS. DUE TO LUCK THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY, ALTHOUGH FAILURE AT A DIFFERENT TIME WOULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. FAILURE IS NOT YET FULLY ANALYZED, BUT APPEARS TO BE DUE TO FAILURE OF EITHER INNER TIE ROD BUSHING OR INNER TIE ROD MOUNTING BOLT. STEERING CONTROL OF LEFT SIDE FRONT WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY LOST. I WILL PROVIDE UPDATE WHEN EXACT NATURE OF FAILURE IS AVAILABLE. FOR LEGAL REASONS I AM PROCEEDING CAREFULLY IN ANALYZING THIS FAILURE. COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER ANALYSIS IS COMPLETE. *JB
