Steering Probs

There is alot of squeelin from my engine when I turn the wheel too sharp. Checked the fluid level and I'm good. Do I need a new PS pump or is it something simpler?

Re: Steering Probs

Mine did that when I would turn it all the way to one side. If I stopped turning it just before lock it wouldnt squeal.

Yup. I had that prob. after installing a new P.S. pump and it turned out to be a loose belt. It felt tight but when I tightened it more, it stopped

Re: Steering Probs

I gave the belt a tug, seemed pretty tight. I'll tighten it up anyways, see if that helps. my lift wouldn't cause steering pump problems would it?

Re: Steering Probs

lift wont do it.. if the pulleys seem real shiny and all try sanding them with a fine grit emory cloth to get the glaze off and tighten or replace the belt and that should do it
