I bought this car about 2 years ago, the only thing I have had to replace is the transmision and that was covered under warrenty. But yesterday my wife and I were driving from the dog park to go home and we heard this weird noise. It was like hitting a bump and then metal hitting concreat. I got out and couldnt find anything. So this morning when I went to go to work I noticed that when I turned to the left it went half way around before it even started to turn and it was entirely TOO easy to turn. BUT when I turn to the right. It turns fine. I just got married about a month ago and now im afraid to take my wife and little daughter ANYWHERE(my daughter is 15 months old) Can someone PLEASE help me?

Make sure all steering components are tight as well as the rack and pinion. If there are any metalic sounds now, make sure to check wheel bearings as well.

Let me know what you find.
