Thread: 2006 mercury milan issue need help

    Default 2006 mercury milan issue need help

    So I just got a 2006 milan runs drive fine but have a issue. So I can drive it forward and turn left and right with no issues. But when I go in reverse I can turn all the way left no issue but if I turn all the way right when backing up then try to turn wheel back to the left the steering wheel gets stuck and won't turn anymore. If I go forward a inch everything is fine and wheel will turn with no issue unless I go backwards to the right. Any idea would help

    Interesting. How do the ball joints/ control arms look. Possibly a seized socket.

    cv joint binding?
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

    I am not sure if it was a CV or not. I thought but would be that or rack.. When you are driving it there is no clicking coming from anywherr

    Not sure if it catches but will check. Once the wheel gets stuck to the right I have to go forward to free it up. The steering will will go back and forth a out 1/8 If a turn when it happens just can't go all the way back to the left

    Sounds like the halfshaft (CV) to meet too. How many miles are on it?

    If it is over extending the OTE it's likely the rack needing attention.
    Curious if that's why you picked it up for sale. Was it cheap?
