GOT IT BACK YESTERDAY DROVE IT AND THIS MORNING HAS NO POWER STEERING FLUID AND MAKING THE NOISE AGAIN. TAKING BACK THIS MORNING. ANY SUGGESTION AS TO THE PROBLEM
Don ;
Hi It sounds as if you have a leak , right . I would look in the pressure line from the power steering pump , if there is no fluid puddel or fluid all over the place than it is comming from a pin hole in the line , and when you turn it gets shot out on the road till empty and soon you will have to replace that pump because it will burn out with no fluid in it. so I would look for a tiny pin hole in the line - ok .>>>>>>>
