More steering woes. Went off road and into a Wachovia front lawn
I think my steering lock problem may be something in the column. It only locks turning right. I was trying to limp it back to my office this afternoon when I was taking a right turn and the wheel locked....sending me over the 6 inch curb and into a Wachovia bank front lawn.
I just put on a new steering wheel and I've never had this problem before. Is there anything I could have messed up in the column? Or any other ideas.

I can't find the link right now, but I read the instructions on how to drill out the steering lock (removal required for certain racing classes). It sounded really simple, wish I could find it for you. Of course, that's assuming that the lock itself is the issue. Good luck!
