My sister has a 1987 Camry

She called me today and told me she was driving and her steering failed.
She said the wheel was really hard to turn or maybe even locked?

She applied the brakes and came to a stop and the steering started to work
again. This has happened two times in the last week.

I haven't looked at the car yet, I will see it this weekend.

So a little bit of history.

1) About 4 years ago her car was stolen. They jammed the ignition lock.
She got the car back. The key starts the car fine, almost any key starts
the car since the ignition cylinder lock is broken. Once the car is started
the key can be pulled out without turning the key back to the off position.
Also once or twice the starter engaged while the car was running. All
pointing to a broken ignition cylinder lock. I am just wondering if the
steering column lock suffered damage when the ignition lock was broken when
the car was stolen.

I have a 2003 Corolla LE with 60K miles.

Bought new BFG Touring T/A tires a while back, and now the car rides as
noisy as all get-out......sounds like a 4-wheel drive truck humming down the
road. Tires are physically in great shape....no damage.....just a
constant "hummmm" as I drive down the road. The tires are rated as
"quiet", and the OEM Firestones I had on the car before....I just don't
remember them making any noise.

Is it the car?? Are other Corolla's noisy too?? These tires don't have a
lot of miles on them (maybe 20K), and I don't want to replace them, just to
have the new ones make the same noise.

Any suggestions??

Thanks, Regards, John
