Power steering, or lack thereof
Power steering, or lack thereof
Pretty sure it's the pump, but I wanted to find out what you guys think before I replace it.
Here's the story...I was doing some donuts in a parking lot when the power steering went out. I drove it home, and started looking it over.
The belts are all still on, and there's fluid in it. No power steering though. The pump hasn't been making any unusual noises, so I didn't figure that there was anything wrong with it.
Any ideas?

Welcome aboard.
Donuts are bad for you. As you can see, they were also bad for your PS.
Loosen the pressure hose and see if anything comes out. If not, pump.
