Power Steering issue
Any ideas? bad pump? tension seems fine as does fluid level
This only occurs when the steering wheel is being turned.
The sound is literally like a wheel rubbing the curb at 1 mph as you're parallel parking (plus a little vibration throught the steering wheel) and doing a crappy job, but if you rev the engine or turn at higher speeds it is not noticable and the vibration sensation is also not present.
Might drive the other jalopy home tonight just so I don't kill the newer one
is this common for W210's
thanks

level ground helps
My fluid was low! I wasn't on level ground and that guage is so little
I was reading it wrong. What a difference. Now I just need to identify
where teh leak is?
It was probably a slow leak, over 7 months. Maybe that o-ring I've heard about.
thanks
