I've got a 1998 Legacy Outback. When I make a right hand turn, it continues to pull to the right after I come out of the turn. If I turn the wheel about 360 degrees to the left there is a clunk sound and it is centered again. If I hit a bump in the road it'll pop back into place too. Any ideas what might be causing the pulling?

 

Thanks in advance!

ANY clunking in the steering is a bad thing. Do you have slop or play in the steering wheel as well?

 

If so your rack is going bad. PLEASE have it checked immediately!

 

Two areas i dont skimp on are brakes and steering. The life i save may be my own *EEK*

I get little hints of play in the steering wheel sometimes when I'm braking. Other than that though, not really. But I'll take it to my mechanic tomorrow and see what he thinks. Thanks for your input!

This could be so many things, nothing safe. Get it checked.
