steering problem
 
ok so im all stock, stock height, stock steering...

when im turning into parking spaces, its like i loose power steering, i have to give it my all to turn into spaces. its only if i have to turn sharply. i cant decide if its some sort of power steering lose or possibly something getting into a bind, just a bad joint on the drag link, or tierod.:dunno:

any suggestions or opinions?

How's the fluid look? What level is it at?

dylanXJ99 06-19-2012 07:57 PM

ill have to check that and report back tomorrow. but last time i did check it (porbly a month ago) everything looked fine and the level was where it should be

Could be belt slipping or the pump is going bad, ruin one or two pumps with big tires and no steering fluid cooler

Sorry bout just getting back to this thread, but I checked the power steering level. It's fine...and 1 of my belts slips and squeals on start up, but I'm pretty sure that's just a/c...any other ideas...I still think something is binding up when I turn. Like a bad joint, but I'm not sure how I can confirm that other then just replacing parts

Get the front up in the air, disconnect the pitman arm and swing the front from full left to full right and see if you have any binding. Then start 'er up and turn the wheel from lock to lock to see if the box is binding.
