Does water pump affect steering?
It would be possible if the water pump is either leaking coolant on the belt causing it to slip or if the water pump is binding causing the belt to slip Another answer: Someone I know got 2 opinions that his water pump was going out (leaking). Later, he was on the freeway at 65mph and lost steering. The engine stayed on. He was able to pull over, or the car pulled to the right (bad alignment a good thing?). The repair person said the water pump for 1996 Jeep Cherokee sport helps circulate the power steering fluid.
