Title: power steering (again)
Post by: molliemoo060304 on 03 July 2010, 22:29:30
ok I had just decided (thanks to all you lovely people on here)my lack of power steering was due to a broken pump, I have just gotten in my car to check nothing else is out of the ordinary. It is an automatic and when i change from park to drive or drive to reverse it feels like the car is bumping or dropping or something?

the first thing to check is the fluid level

If the steering wheel is "bumping" / juddering as you turn it sounds like the drive belt might be slipping, or low on fluid.

check rubber brackets holding the gear
