Steering Problem

I just noticed this a couple of days ago when I was going around a corner and it felt like my wheels were going to go completely sideways. And it feels like my steering wheel turns more than my wheels actually do. It's really hard to explain. Does this sound like a problem with my suspension(struts). BTW I have a 2002. Should I just get them changed anyways, since it is a 2002 and they have been having problems with the suspension on this year? Please help me, any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mike

Sounds like you may be sliding on the stock firestones to me....If the struts are bad, the car will bounce excessively over bumps and dips in the road.

You need to be more specific about what is happening...I know this kind of stuff is hard to explain. I just think you are sliding and not realizing it.

Nope it's not lowered. Just feels like my steering wheel is loose compared to my wheels turning the same amount.
