| Thanks Andrew -- that's pretty much what the mechanic said. The fluid level is still good, but I've been suspicious of the power steering unit for the last 50k miles, as the steering has gotten progressively harder and fluid level has slowly dropped, but I've always kept it full and no obvious leaks. That said, I think you're probably right, the power steering pump is probably shot. I'll know for sure just as soon as I can get it in the shop. I'll keep you posted. |
