03 Kia Rio Cinco Front End Steering problems….Need Advice PLEASE!!!!!	Sign In

I have a 2003 Kia Rio Cinco with Front End Steering Problems ….. I need Advice for repairs PLEASE!!!!!

PROBLEM: While driving 40- 60 mph the car will suddenly PULL/ JUMP/JERK to the right (very dangerous). This is a sporadic occurrence, usually while taking a left hand curve in the road or while braking in a curve. It appears that the problem is in the right front end/wheel area. Also recently I was hearing a grinding/rubbing noise when I turned the steering wheel front that same right front wheel. The car steers/rides smoothly while driving straight making it appear that the alignment is okay.

Currently I have my car at a local (recently certified) Kia Dealership/Mechanics. They have replaced both tie rod ends, both ball joints, with a new front & rear end alignment. Cost $950.00 for labor/parts. STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. They’re checking with their Technical support people!?!?! Hope this all makes sense.

PLEASE ANY ADVICE WELCOME!!!!

Thanks in advance

I am having the identical problem as well

I had noticed the problem while turning right at high speed on the highway.

but after I had an alignment recently I now noticing the issue even more.
mainly while driving straight, typically as the car shifts gears
