While making a right turn heard a loud pop sound. Thereafter vehicle lost steering control, vehicle taken to an independent shop for repairs. Informed consumer that the bottom bearing fell out. The reason for bearing falling out was due to sloppy assembly by the manufacturer. That is the bearing was not pressed into place.
