scriffis Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 So today when I was trying to fix my horn, I was trying to take the front off the steering wheel and so i was turning the wheel full lock left and right with the car off. Once I had finished putting it all back together I went for a drive only to find that the steering is now quite alot heavier, and that the power steering pump is making whining sickly noises when I turn the wheel, and last but not least the steering wheel is jerky and stuttery when turning sometimes. I realise in retrospect I shouldn't have turned the wheel alot with the car off, but any suggestions as to what has happened or how to fix? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc4sooner Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 this may seem a bit to obvious but sometimes you forget the simple things, did you happen to check your power steering fluid level? i know my car leaks ps fluid and if it gets too low it makes that whiny sound.

Yeah turns out it did need quite a top up. It sort of fixed itself tho, just left it for 24 hours and it pretty much came right. Must have just had air in there somewhere.
