  • stiff steering at times

    Ok, this happened after I did a donut. I was pulling into my drieway and after I had it inpark the wheel was very hard to turn, felt like the wheels were rubbing on something. It has happened sever times since then, usually after ive made a big turn or a series of turns, it wil give me a little bit of stiffness for a few seconds. Now did I merely loosen something like a belt or is it my steering pump, or something worse pehaps.

    it's probably the steering pump. The exact same thing happened to my car and it was the steering pump. I went to pep boys and paid like $64 after the core charge and everything. It's not too hard to install the pump either, just a little annoying [img]smile.gif[/img]

      good, I was worried for a sec there, kind of scary when your car has issues turning. I think thats it for donuts for me for a bit.

        Depends how hard you did the donuts. You could have damaged something else in the works. Let us know if after checking your pump/repair/replace. If you still have the problem. Good luck! [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
