My power steering has been squeaking when I crank the wheel left or right, although it occasionally squeaks just after I've started the car or when the steering is under a bit of a load.
The fluid is fine. My dad's suggestion was to check the belt tension, could this lead to it and would it be a valid reason? TiA! -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

This use to happen to me all the time on my first car, especially on cold mornings. like every says check your belt and tighten it if you need to, but that is not what did it for me, what worked for me was going to the local car store and buying Lucas Power Steering fluid... take out alot of your current power steering fluid and pour in like the whole bottle of this stuff. It is ALOT thicker than the normal stuff and it works...
Once i poured it in and drove it around a bit got it all worked in, i didn't have any squeak:) just something to keep in mind -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
