Loose or missing belt - Lack of fluid - broken pump
you wont be able to turn the steering wheel so easily if you dont fix it you wont be able to turn it at all
in steering cloum a silver plate wears out.
yes i have done two. one a 1997 & the other a 1998 make sure you get the alternator off the donor as the one on your car wont fit the bracket that holds the power steering pump
Check the fuse.
No, it will just be a little harder to turn. Once you hit 5 mph, you wont notice it that much Not true... If your car comes factory with power steering and it stops working, chances are your out of power steering fluid. In this case you can burn up your power steering pump causing particles of the burnt pump to enter your steering box and that would cause damage. It could just wear it out (i.e. causeing loose steering) or it could bind up (i.e. wont turn completely in one direction intermittenly. If you notice your steering getting harder to turn, I would recomend you checking your fluid and toping it off if necesary.
yes you just wont have power stearing if you do
replace the whole steering wheel cause once the buttons have melted??...they wont work anyway.
Yes. You'll need to swap out the steering box and rack and pinion, which means disasembling the steering linkage. Unless you have the proper tools, you wont be able to get everything apart.
no it wont affect the steering. the only thing to affect the steering would be the pump, the steering box, the belt or lines. or possibly worn out mechanical steering components. like tie rods ball joints etc.
Power steering pump should be replaced.
If you cannot see a power steering belt or pump under the bonnet, chances are the power sterring is ran by an electric pump. Check your fuse box diagram to see if it is listed.It will be a fairly large fuse, and if its blown PAS wont work. Hope this helps.
Replace power window relay.Located under drivers side scuff plate.
