I'm about to do my timing belt and big daddy tune up... after I get all the parts and things... which at that point I'm going to drain and replace my power steering fluid.

Here's the problem I noticed when I go through the drive thru at any fast food place : )

when I turn my steering wheel to the left or right it squeels but not at the steering wheel itself... it kind of sounds like tires if they were on a tile showroom floor... but it's not the tires and I'm not on a showroom floor : (

it's when I turn the steering wheel enough to engage, then the noise occurs... not if I barely move the wheel back and forth a centimeter.

I'll do some searching, but I was just wondering if anyone has fixed this with some spray or if it's the steering fluid. I don't remember when it was changed, but I'm about to do it.

 

If it was the steering pump, there was a post saying that he replace the pump bearing and problem was fixed. pay attention to see where the noise comes from; it could be steering pump, and worse to be rack pinion.

 

hmm I'll have to see when I get it to someone... I can't locate it because my back is hurt...
