Hey guys,
I was driving down the highway today and started pulling onto an off ramp when my steering wheel seemed to lock up and wouldn't move. It was only for a few seconds and everything was fine the rest of the way home. I pulled the wheel hard and got steering back, but it was quite stiff. The steering went back to normal shortly after I stopped. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this before? Other things were that I was braking to prepare for the turn and had AC going for the first time it a long while. Any thoughts?
The vehicle is a 1996 Cherokee Sport 2wd 4.0 that my wife and I have owned since new. It has 166,000 miles on it and we try to keep it well serviced. Did I maybe miss something with the power steering?
Thanks
