… and the steering response seems really bad. Can I keep driving it? Has anyone else had this problem? Do you think I should take it to a mechanic? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/a/f/aff27f5f8f64854437699942f40397ac2fdd9a27.jpeg) 😏 ---

Gives a whole new meaning to the term low rider. ---

But, of course, the most important question is… _Has anyone else had this problem?_ If not, then I guess it can be safely ignored. 😆 ---

> [@VDCdriver](#): > > Has anyone else had this problem? Ten years ago a large SUV came into the shop with the left rear wheel beat to death, gear oil sprayed all over that corner of the vehicle and holes in the wheel well that allowed view of the back seat. The owner was flat towing the SUV behind a RV and had not noticed the tire had gone flat until after several miles of travel on the bare wheel.
