Default I Have A Serious Steering Problem....

So i tried to make a left hand turn today and when i tried to straighten out my wheel, it wouldnt turn. so i grabbed hard and it made a metal clunking sound and it turned. its not in any ball joints or steering links. i think its the pump itself. it calmed down after i checked it out, but it did it again about an hour later making a right hand turn. im gonna take it to the dealer monday if i cant figure it out tomorrow. does anyone have any info that could potentially save me from turning into a ditch or possibly a semi?? thanks guys

btw its all stock down there no tires rims or lift mods.

Dealership... You're still under warranty, so DON'T touch it.

So uh...upon further investigation in the daylight, i found that my MP-8 had came unglued and fell between the intake manifold and brake fluid box, and weaseled its way against something hard and the steering linkage.

its a little ate up but it still works. crisis averted

so laugh it up, and check your velcro! lmao!

Come on guys easy on him, I didn't post it on here but on another forum when I drilled out my manifold for the probe for my edge I broke off a drill bit and it fell into the turbo so I had to take the turbo off to get it out and I pride myself on not breaking drill bits like everyone else.
