V70 - steering craps out unexpectantly V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Chrissij on  Sat May 15 17:55 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Craps out unexpectedly? Does it run out of power steering fluid? Usually the pump seal (I would fix that before it took my alternator with it making it even more expensive. I get rebuilt power steering pumps locally for $195.00. I could probably get them cheaper if I ordered from a warehouse, I just like the local lifetime warranty). Has this only started happening since you started running the AC? Could the belt be slipping? Could the AC compressor be cycling because of low freon, creating a drag on the belt and thus the power steering? I've never had a customer's power steering just "crap out" unexpectedly.
