Miles are high, but it is a Civic. I wish I could drive it and use that gearstick

I'm still salty to this day that I never got the power wheels jeep >:(

I had a similar jeep like this when I was young, it was black and yellow.

I had a newer one, It was red with firetruck decals on it. And a working spray gun. (Very very very low pressure though).

I used to drift that thing a lot once I got older, which eventually led to it's demise XD.

So uh.....good and bad things happened with my car today. In good news, I changed out the two burned out taillights that I've been putting off for months, so now the car looks a little less ghetto. In bad news, it was raining today, so I was driving less intelligently, and I managed to do something, and to put things short, I did something to my steering. I can't tell if the issue is related to the suspension, the alignment, or the steering assembly, but driving in circles for a few minutes seemed to make it stop.

I also discovered on accident how to start the car a little smoother. It still won't hold the idle, but I found a way to cure the hard starts by pushing fuel into the engine with the fuel pump a couple extra times. Now instead of screaming to a start in the split second that I start the key, it actually cranks over like it's supposed to do.

what was the noticeable issue with the steering?

[e-maxx]

I think I got a wheel bearing going bad on the jaguar
I've been noticing a faint squeaking/chirping noise from the front driverside wheel

aaah MOAR STUF TO FIX

what was the noticeable issue with the steering?

Well the road was wet so I stopped to play at the gymkhana (some people refer to it as the "high school parking lot"). After one round through the lot, there was a terrible moaning and some obvious vibrations resounding through the car anytime I turned the wheel. I drove to the gas station next door and drove around in a few circles, stopped, walked around the car while turning the wheel some more, but still couldn't find out what it was. By the time I got home, the noise was almost completely gone.

My theory now is that I just shot some water up into the front underside of the car and it was just causing some squeaking (similar to wet brakes, only with the steering/wheels).

check the power steering fluid level, it probably needs some. If you suspect it's leaking, dump a 12oz of Lucas oil stop leak in with more ps fluid. Sounds just like an issue I had with my old sable
