Power Steering

Its at the back and below the engine.. to fill it pull the dipstick marked POWER STEERING which is at the back of the engine to the left of the airfilter box.. and add fluid to the level marks on the dipstick

If you know nothing about front ends, you need to get the vehicle checked out ASAP by either a friend that knows about cars, or a good shop. Excessively worn tie rod ends & centerlinks have been known to come apart when you least expect them to.

I would replace that unfortunate mixture with fresh power steering fluid using the recommended fluid for the type of vehichle. Some use ATF (automatic transmission fluid) or Mineral Type fluid or most commomly regular Power Steering Fluid. Now...to change the old fluid. Find the return line to the reservoir. This line will be near the top of the the reservoir and under much less pressure than the feed/suction line. With the engine OFF...disconnect the return line from the reservoir. Have a helper hold this hose into a bucket. Start the engine...do not rev it! SLOWLY turn the steering wheel all of the way to right..then all the way to the left..then return it to the center position. Turn off the engine. This will empty the system. NEXT..put the return hose back on and secure it. Fill the reservoir with new fluid and replace the cap. Start the engine and repeat the wheel turning step once again. Stop the engine and check the fluid level. Fill the reservoir to the specified level. PRESTO!!! You should be in good shape as far as the power steering fluid. . John In Montana

I need help on how to remove my powersteering pump? You must first remove the power steering pump pulley. Most part stores have a tool loaner program so you can borrow the puller and and return it and get your money back. After the pulley is removed there are 3 bolts holding the power steering pump to the bracket. Pull those and the long bracket that is on the back of the pump and connects to the exhaust manifold and alternator and the pump should slide out. This information is for a 5.7L engine, but I believe it is close to the same for a 4.3L.

It could be the p/s leaaking if you are loosing fluid. Otherwise, you just have to get back there and see what is leaking.

You're probably getting a little water on the belt. Check to see if there is a dust cover, mud guard or whatever it's called for your vehicle. Someone may have removed it over the years and now when you splash water it causes the belt to slip.

i use regular stp. it protects against wear , oxidation and foaming . also works in subzero temps.

you fix it and play

You don't. Electronic feed pump. If steering gets bad, go to dealer and have pump checked.

Stop running or stop moving? Anyway, not likely unless it's a big truck with a hydovac break system.

1. Your power steering won't work properly, because it requires hydraulic fluid.

2. You may cause corrosion in your power steering system.

For the 1987 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight, the power steering system typically includes two main lines: the high-pressure line and the return line. The high-pressure line runs from the power steering pump to the steering gear, transferring fluid under pressure. The return line carries the fluid back to the pump from the steering gear, usually routed along the frame. For specific diagrams, it's recommended to refer to a repair manual or online resources dedicated to Oldsmobile service information.

There is a power steering pump under the hood in front of engine, it has a pully that is driven off a belt. Read the cap on top of the plastic reservoir that is attached to pump (to make sure it is power steering) and there should be a dipstick connected to cap. Your owners manual should specify what type of fluid to use and only fill fluid to appropriate level (that is denoted on the dipstick that the cap has)

PS- do NOT get any dirt in there

Counter steering is used while riding bicycles and motorcycles. The front wheel is turned away from the direction you wish to go while leaning in the direction you will go. Then the wheel is quickly turned properly to finish the turn.

Why would you put power steering stop leak in an automatic transmission in the first place? You obviously don't know what you are doing. Take it to a professional!

Sounds like you belt came off.

Yes, power steering comes standard in a hyundai accent,

If you really want to be sure, look in the engine bay for a "POWER STEERING FLUID" receptacle.

poor GM engineering! All these impalas do this at some point, most within a year! You can ignore it! The dealership has a lubrication bandaid but it is expensive and does not last long. It treats the symptom, it is not a cure to the root problem that has no real solution!!!

there is a hydraulic res. on the passenger fender, it goes in there. it also controls

the rear suspension

Pebble caught between rotor and disc pad?

I have zero personal expertise, but I have just gone through this with Fitzgerald Hyundai parts (Rockville, MD) this morning. They not only say similar but identical. They use and sell Dexron III ATF fluid as Type 3 power steering fluid. Two people there confirmed it.
