Well, it wasn't really no steering, just not much steering. I was
driving, and apparently (unknown to me) only had one bolt left on my
driver's side shock absorber (which is also the upper A-arm). That bolt
broke. The car became hard to steer. But it made it where I was going
(the airport). I got home today, and had to check up on the problem
(which I hadn't identified yet) - and since the airport is a 4 hour
drive from here, when I got it diagnosed, I did an equally bad thing
(but it worked). I took 2 mount bolts off the passenger's side shock,
and used them to bolt down the driver's side. Made sure the passenger's
side was tight, and went on my way. I better get working - I have 4
bolts to replace.
I was lucky this time. It is worth doing a thorough check at least once
a year on your suspension.
