Probably a broken cancel spring or it just fell out. There are two of them, one for each direction. The round doohickeys in this photo. Available in the HELP section at your parts store. Cheap. http://s173.photobucket.com/user/dale68z/media/71 RS/11281071camaro019.jpg.html

 

Common issue, plastic part but easy fix once you remove the wheel. :thumbsup:

 

I had the exact same problem with one more issue. My turn signal wouldn't turn off automatically from either side and the left signal quit working. My problem was mechanical as the wiring all checked out. My switch was brittle and cracked in several places from 47 years of use/abuse. I could have replaced the switch but the upper and lower bearing in my steering column were bad so I decided to replace the entire steering column.

 

Yes...this could turn into a complete rotisserie restoration....

:yes: Less complicated projects have mission creeped such as the 2 dollar glovebox light bulb project that became a full frame off resto mod. Cost him his savings and his wife but he loves the car.

don't you hate the snowball effect?

The other very common issue is the wheel alignment has not been done with the steering wheel lock in the horizontal , travel straight forward position. THEN the toe in set at the tie rod ends
Assuming all the Steering wheel/ shaft splines etc are installed/lined up correctly.

To check.. find the center piont from lock to lock....the front wheels should be straight ahead and the steering wheel horozonal.
If not alignment done by someone who doesnt know what they are doing.

 

well, i guess you always take it to a circle track...lots of left turns there!

 

I'll have to check the condition of mine now. I drove for about 10 miles the other day with my left blinker on. Totally erased the 'cool car' factor and made me feel like an old lady...
