Nissan is recalling more than 236,000 small cars in the U.S. because the tie rods in front suspension can bend and break, possibly causing drivers to lose steering control.
I had a tie rod break on my old beloved Civic. I was stopped though, had just finished refueling. Turned the wheel to move away from the pump and… KACHUNK!
Tried moving it into a parking space and no dice. It would kiiiiiinda steer. Got out, looked at the passenger-side front tire, turned to the left. checked out the driver’s-side tire… turned to the right.
“I don’t think it’s usually supposed to be like that,” I tell my friend.
Tie rods breaking. Yikes.
