Chrysler LHS owners have reported 4 problems related to steering rack (under the steering category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I'd parked my 1996 Chrysler Lhs in a parking lot for a couple of hours on 7/10/2005. The vehicle has 95k miles on it. As I returned, and backed the vehicle up to exit the space, I heard a loud "pop". Suddenly the car no longer responded to steering. Upon examination, I found the inner tie rod bolts had sheared off where they
connected to the steering gear. Both bolts had sheared off at the same
length, and the retaining plate was still in place, preventing the bolts from
loosening/rotating. If this had occured while I was driving down the
freeway, I'd be dead. I haven't had it repaired yet, but I've kept the old tie rod bolts. I don't know
how easy I can get out the sheared ends from the steering gear, but I would
suspect it won't be in good shape when I finish.
