My power steering is leaking under a dust boot on the right side. I was wondering if any knew how to fix it what that problem might be, or if any one had this problem before. Power steering also makes a squealing type sound. When I turn it. I can’t really think of what else to say. It kinda drips out liek this —\> :wackit: ---

sounds like the seal in the rack & pinion is leaking… if it is bad enough, when u poke a hole thought the dust boot, it will be peeing instead of dripping… most likly u gotta replace the rack… as for squealing sound… have u check the fluid level for power steering??? ---

Check if everything is lubricated properly ---

Just so you know incase you dont… If your car came with PS (which it did) then by law you are required to have PS in the vehicle… "safety requirement + if you get blitz’d) Main reason is without the PS Pump the Rack is then without Power and results in play from the Tie Rods (also, since its a power rack, its meant to have the power assist) if you dont, you’ll burn out the rack in time from running dry etc ---

i also have a power steering problem. after the big rain fall a few days ago, my power steering is making a mechanical noise like a horny gorilla when i turn the wheel. it never made the noise but its not causing any problem eitther…steering wheel still feels the same. but the noise is bothering me.
