WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.+ t- }: v6 i, D& Y3 e) c
WHAT: The pressure relief valve inside the pump is dumping excess power-steering hydraulic fluid back into the reservoir. It's supposed to do that, although maybe a little more quietly.9 C3 @* I7 z; U
URGENCY: No big deal.
3 d+ n! \" d1 S. ?% w/ z) W! s4 ~FIX: It's normal. Actually, you should check the level of power steering fluid in the pump. Don't hold the wheel hard on the stop like that; it annoys pedestrians and is tough on the belt.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.9 n3 y7 L' j x$ n3 B3 v$ P/ f
URGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.3 g1 Y! m9 A M$ O- Z6 R
FIX: Check belt tension and pulley alignment; replace the belt. |
