WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 OLDSMOBILE ALERO WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND STARTED MAKING LOUND BANGING NOISES FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE THEN I COULD NOT MAKE A LEFT TURN. I ALMOST GOT HIT HEAD ON AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE RACK AND PINION AND REALIZED THAT THE SUB FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT.
