Is the pressure in spec? Check for a possible restriction hydrolically if under. It may have nothing to do with the power steering system however. IF you get the front end off the ground, withe the wheels turns easly when you grab one side at the 3 & 9 o'clock position? IF tight, disconnect the tie rod ends and again try turning them to check for ball joint stiffness trouble. If tightness is gone, check back into the rack or tie rods, if you had a car, the strut bearing would be questionable also.

What could the squeaking coming from under the front end of your 95 Eddie baurer be also you had the bushings replaced two years ago?

The squeak possibly could be tierods. My '98 Mercury had a bit of a squeak coming from under the front and I figured it to be just old car sounds coming on. The steering started getting a bit tight and shaky, from there I was told the steering trouble was undiagnosable, but the tirods needed replacement and the squeaking was what alerted them to that. I went to a different mechanic to have that fixed and they told me the steering trouble was definitely related to the tierod. After they replaced that the squeak and steering trouble was gone.


1985 Nissan 200sx battery was replaced and now the car won't engage to start?

First, why was the battery replaced? If there was a pre-existing problem (like a bad starter, for example), replacing the battery will not solve the problem. If, however, the car started fine before battery replacement, then the problem could be that the battery terminals (clamps) were not sufficiently tightened. Don't laugh, but there have been instances where the plastic cap(s) covering the new battery's positive and negative terminals were not removed (duh!). Remove those plastic caps.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado has no spark to the spark plugs is it a computer problem?

I have a 1993 Jeep GC Larado also. Recently I didn't have spark either. I replaced my coil: didn't fix the problem. Then I started to think that it might be as simple as a fuse. There is a fuse panel under the hood where all the ABS controls are, inside is a 20amp fuse that controls the ignition. Mine was blown, once I replaced it, the vehicle started perfectly.
