Help with steering issue
OK, I will try my best to descrive the problem.
When I turn sharply in my runner, more so when over bumps, it feels like my tires just give away. I don't know if that makes sense, but it feels like they are just pushed around and don't hold the angle.
for example, today I was turning and hit a raised manhole cover and the right front tire felt like it moved outward when hitting the pressure from the cover.
I don't know what leads to this, but the steering does not feel like I am in control at all anymore. I hit bumps and I feel helpless, the wheel rattles in my hands and seems at the whim of bumps.
ANY SUGGESTIONS OR DIAGNOSIS?!?!
THANKS A TON!!!

It could be play in the steering box or bad ball joints.
Jack the front up, grab a front tire at the top and bottom and see if there is play in and out. Then get back to us
