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!

Anyone have any ideas??

I know you never want the pump to go dry but I didn’t know if I could just pull the hose off and run it into a bucket while pouring new fluid in. Wait for the new fluid to start flowing out into the bucket and then reconnect everything, fill and bleed as necessary. I checked the manual and it doesn’t say too much (as usual rolleyes.gif ).

Thanks all! biggrin.gif
