Blown 346 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 You could have damaged the power steering hoses. Etc there is alot that goes wrong with a front impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Check the belt, make sure the power steering pump is turning and check the power steering pressure and return lines going to the steering box. Also check and make sure you have power steering fluid. Just some basic ideas of potential problem you could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coal miner Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Sounds like your out of guild to me. Do you hear the pump whining or anything like that? Most likely you got a leak form the crash. Edited February 1, 2014 by coal miner (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown 346 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Your power steering is gone. You either one damaged the pump, or two damaged the lines. Once you lose power steering fluid your steering gets extremely hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissfans03ss Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 You either have an issue with the front end which I doubt but should still be looked into or a more logical issue is the you ran out of fluid.Check for leaks and remember that even thought you don't see a fluid leak the p.s. system still requires pressure from your pump to make it easier for you to turn your steering wheel. Good luck and let us know what happens. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 You definitely have a leak going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
