Thread: Power Steering Problem (County)

Total failure of the power steering should be easy to diagnose - seems you have a bad choice of mechanic.

I assume you mean power assistance is not working, not that you have no steering. The usual reason for this is total loss of fluid, in which case it is simply a matter of refilling it and finding where it is leaking out and repairing/replacing as indicated. Most likely the pitman shaft seal, which means either a replacement or overhaul of the box.

It could also be total failure of the pump, or simply a loose belt.

Hi.

The steering does work put very hard to turn the wheels.
the power steering fluid container was full and clean no dirt or anything
untill the mechanic let it out and the belts are fine. i suspect the power steering pump has failed and time for a new one. does anyone know where to buy a new one and roughly how much one would cost? thanks heaps
