my car does the same thing when its low on ps fluid. try filling it up and then rotate the steering wheel all the way to left and all the way back to the right
repeat a few times, it bleeds all the air out of the system

I have found that when your power steering pump starts to get lowon fluid that the pump will start to work against you and it makes it 5x harder to turn. Also could just be your pump is goin out if the fluid wasn't too low.

you will have to see how much it would cost to ship to zip 37601
i'd split the shipping cost with you ???? you are the first to ask about a converter on here.


i think we can use a flat rate box from the post office
Yeah it should fit in a flat rate box. If it does then it would be about $12 total to ship it. It's the factory cat from my 94 integra. So I assure you it's a small foreign cat.

Yeah well lets hope its not the pump. First it was my tire having a nail in it,then 2 days later the same tire got a screw in it. Then i got a speeding ticket when i was parked at a light not moving,$112. Then my trailing arm bushings need replacing and my battery is dieing. Now this is going on,now what? lol FML

its time for a major tune up yo!

but as for your ps problem. Try what lude72 said and just bleed the system. Fill the max and start the car. rotate steering wheel all the way left to all the way right 3-4 times and see how it feels and check to see how much PS fluid goes down.

lude71: that a nice looking EG. more pix please.

Yeah i know. The spark plugs are 40 bucks for all 4,i don't need the wires cause the NGK ones should still be good. I did oil change so that's money saved. This cold weather isn't helping nether. Its been 7 below the last week. But yeah,i did bleed the PS and everything seems to be working good again,but only time will tell.

What spark plugs are you running that are $10 each? I can say they are probably overkill for your setup. I'm running ngk bkr7e "4644" about $8 for all 4
