Good evening,
I had starting problems the other day and had my car towed to my house. Tow truck driver put the front wheel straight and engaged the steering wheel lock thereafter proceeded to tow my car with the rear wheels hoisted up and the front wheels on the road. When I got my car started and took it for a drive I notice a big lump in the steering every time I pass this one spot which is almost exactly when I have the wheels all straight, very possible the very spot the wheels were locked at during the tow. It was worse the first couple of times i passed the spot but it is still there. I jacked both wheels up and I don't feel it, I let the car down and there it is. I haven't tried just to jack up one wheel yet. I had a look at the suspension and steering parts but I can't see anything obvious. It still tracks good btw. Any ideas of what it can be and could it be unsafe to drive?
Thanks!
John
