Ok, when you have a vehicle with multiple issues, always start with safety related first. Between steering and suspension, steering is safety related as losing your power steering around a turn can cause an accident. With dirty/burnt fluid and the power steering coming and going, I would replace the power steering pump, drain all fluid and put in new fluid. Next would be suspension. If the ball joints are bad, they will make either a popping noise or creaking noise like old bed springs when you go over a bump or hit a pothole. If this is happening, then they would be the next thing to replace when you are able to If the vehicle leans to one side or lower at the front or rear when sitting still, then there is an issue with the air suspension system and that has to be diagnosed with a scan tool If the only issue is leaning when going around curves, then the struts are weak and need to be replaced. This would be the last thing on the list to do as they are not safety related For the oil life, being at 65% life remaining so soon after an oil change, the engine likely was not properly maintained and has some sludge buildup which will quickly reduce the life of the oil. Get a can of Rislone engine flush, pour into the engine thru oil cap opening, run engine for 10 minutes and then drain oil and replace oil filter and add new oil. You may need to do this a couple of times over the next couple of months to get rid of all sludge. Thanks for using Just Answer and letting me help you. I hope I provided what you needed.

The next question is why does my steering wheel sometimes become straight but wheels arent

HI That can be from the steering column at the rack and pinion u joint being stripped, worn inner or outer tie rods
