Texasgreg Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I have a 2004 es330 Power steering pressure hose was leaking so I replaced it with an OEM part. No more leaks! However, Now it is extremely difficult to turn in both directions. Prior to the hose change out I had absolutely no problems steering. I could tun the wheels in both directions with ease, now it's like a tug a war with Mike Tyson. Please help, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help, Greg Quote CoPilot: Here are a few things to check: Power Steering Fluid Level: Ensure the fluid is at the correct level. Low fluid can cause steering issues. Belt Tension: Check the tension of the serpentine belt, as it drives the power steering pump. Air in the System: Sometimes, air can get into the power steering system during repairs, causing difficulty in steering. You might need to bleed the system to remove any trapped air. Steering Rack: Ensure that the steering rack and its connections are secure and not damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
