POWER STEERING SCREECHING
« on: 19 February 2008, 17:41 »
Hi,

Any ideas whats causing the problem and which parts need fixing ??

Appreaciate any help on this..

Thanks

Sounds like the belts slipping, either because its loose, worn out or both.

if the belts slipping, would this cause dodgy steering? i.e. really vague steering and sloppy steering?
