[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 809544, member: 54263"] Could also be the belt and or the tensioner for the belt. Why??? Because of the way the routing is done on the belt, the belt is actually thrown over the top of the pulley of the power steering pump, not pulled onto the pump. If the belt is worn or the tensioner is weak, the belt will slip around the pulley as compared to forcing the pulley to rotate. Thus, if it slips, you have no assist. This is pretty common...
