It's not a problem on the road, but parking for example is really tough, or anytime I need to maneuver tight spaces. The manual shows where I can add power steering fluid, but I swear when I look under the hood there is no reservoir. Does my car have power steering or not? How would I fix the tight steering? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Mary Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

  • Another hint -- keep tire pressures high (and lessons from being the first to use radial tires :-)
