question about power steering
For the last month the power steering on my car seems to have taken a vacation. At really slow speeds it takes a lot of strength to turn the steering wheel and most of the time I have to use two hands to take turns and steer it. I just the tiny power steering reservoir and filled it up as much as I could with fluid, but nothing seemed to happen. What else could this be? Could the p/s pump be messed up?

it could be the pump taking a dump on you. I'd try flushing out the fluid completely and refilling it.

maybe your belt broke.....when my belt broke on a previous car, the steering was fine at speeds of 40MPH+ but at slow speeds it was like hell....its tricky on cars these days b/c most cars are built with speed sensitive steering in addition to the power steering.
