Power Steering

it could be the rack and pinion

The reason you cannot find it is because it isn't there to be found. newer chevys don't use liquid power steering boxes its electronic. and when it starts to feel limp you MUST replace the ENTIRE units costing about $800 bucks.

Check for worn or loose steering components: Tie rod ends; drag link; pitman arm; idler arm

Working on 1993 Olds Cutlass Ciera 'S' right now with the exact same situation! Basically, the usual problem here is that the P/S pump driveshaft seal is what fails so you have P/S fluid leaking out there. The easiest solution is to replace the P/S pump with a re-built one, but in my case I have already taken the pump off, and removed the pulley from it because my plan is to just replace the pump driveshaft seal since I know that the pump itself is fine because it worked perfectly prior to the leaking problem, and I am incredibly cheap! Because replacing only the driveshaft seal requires a higher level of skill, this may not be for the average do-it-youselfer so in that case replacing the entire pump would definitely be much easier but you'll probably still have to remove the pulley from the old pump, and then re-install it on the replacement pump. A puller is required to remove the pulley, and a simple installation tool will put it on the new pump! This is really not that difficult if you have these tools, which can be rented for a few dollars at some large auto parts stores. A little experience is also helpful. To me, this is not really that difficult a job, but then I've been doing my own work on cars since I was about 15, which is about 30 years. Be sure to clean everything so as to remove all P/S fluid from all pulleys and belts, and also be sure use the appropriate new P/S fluid for this vehicle when filling the reservoir to the proper cold level, and do not over-tighten belts! Thanks

Actually , the 2000 Ford F-250 owners manual shows that Motorcraft MERCON

automatic transmission fluid is used in the power steering

you also need to check if the hose is good located near the front left wheel.

Its hard to see but if it seems to be the problem move the steering wheel and you will see were it leeks.

The power steering fluid in E39 BMW's are located by the front of the car. It is marked ATF on the cap. Good Luck.

Could be something called "torque steer." It has to do with your car being front-wheel-drive and very little to nothing to do with your power steering.

It depends on the location of the leak. Commonly the feed hoses from the reservoir to the power steering pump will leak, the fix is to just replace the clamps.

you may have to take the alternator belt off first. loosen the bolt that is in the slotted part of the alternator bracket and loosen the pivot bolt and nut that goes through the cast aluminum body of the alternator bolt heads are 9/16 or 5/8 inch. push on the alterator to loosen that belt enough to take off. now the pulley of the powersteering pump migh have holes in it get one about the 4 oclock position and you may see the bolt you need to loosen the pump up and pivot it to fit your belt on. if there are no holes in the pully simply look at the bracket that mounts the pump to the motor and find the bolt that has a slot behind it and that's the bolt you need to loosen up to pivot the pump and slide on a new belt. you will need some sort of pry bar to hold the new pump belt tight while you tighten the bolts back up. BE CAREFUL not to puncture your pump resovior or you will need a new pump because now it has a hole in it. put your alternator belt back on and use a pry bar to push in back into place and be careful not to pinch any wires when you do it. tighten bolts back up while holding pressure on the belt. when the car is running you should see very little vibrations in the belts and you know you have them tight enough.

you need a special puller, it is designed to remove the pulley whitch is pressed on, after the pulley is removed you can get to the 4 bolts that secure the pump, the puller also servs the purpose of pressing the pully back on, can be bought at most auto parts stores, i paid around $70 for mine, unless you do this type of work often it will get used once and that's it, so you may be dollars ahead just to pay someone to do it for you

Many possible answers to this one but a good starting point would be either the belt is loose or you need to add power steering fluid to the unit itself.It could also have a bad bearing in it.

Thomas Losito invented the collapsible steering column after his friend had died in a car crash.

Check for movement in the ball joints, antiroll bar bushes and linkage, could also be strut-top bearings. There is the possibility it could be worn/damaged shock absorbers.

first unscrew nut on pulley then unscrew belt tensioner on main larger fan belt,then do the same on alternator belt tensioner on left side of motor.once you have conquered that crawl under truck and do the same to the powersteering belt which is located under ac compressor

Lay under the front while having someone turn the wheel back and forth, replace whatever parts have play in them.

How do you change the power steering belt on a 1996 lexus es300?

In some cases, yes but NOT for hydraulic BRAKE fluid.

go to a wrecker and find a truck with a power steering setup, there are a few out there.
