Loose steering
Steering problem
1996 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 222589 miles
My steering wheel is very loose, when I turn left or right the steering wheel goes almost all the way around. When driving straight I can shift the steering wheel slightly left or right. About two weeks now when ever I parallel park the steering makes awful sounds. What is wrong and what can I do to fix it. Help please!

Hi dwillis70,
There are many possible reasons.
1. Worn steering rack or cushions
2. Worn rack end or tie rods.
3. Lack of power steering fluid.
Most probably to need to overhaul the steering gear box.
