Hybrid-JD Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hey Everyone, In need of some expertise advice asap. I was driving on the highway/freeway for about 20 mins, everything was running fine and smooth.. when i exitied i noticed that my power steering was completely gone.. and i was having hard time even turning the steering wheel to turn. I pulled over right away thinking it might of been a flat tire or something.. and everything looked fine. So i opened up my hoood and checked the power steeering resoivour and it was full , the fluid was NOT HOT??? SO i cheked the accesorry/power steering pump belt to see if it broke or something? and it all looked fine...... so the problem that i'm having now is the car completley has NO power steering what so ever.. car runs fine..but i can barely even steer the car.. only when i start picking up some speed before its just ABIT easier to steer, while if i was to be parked and i wanted to turn.. it would be a challenge. what does this sound like to everyone??? my pump gone? suspension? i wanna get a quick suggestion before i make my way to my mechanic.. please help with any suggestion. Thanks everyone Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone Jimmy I'd check the P/S Rack Solenoid. The electrical connector may just have separated (somewhat unlikely), or the solenoid itself packed it in (also seems unlikely), but they're both something that should be checked.
