Power steering?
Wussup guys. My steering wheel is kind of stiff and when turned all the way to the left or right, it makes a wining sound.. Is this a power steering issue? Like, does the pump need replacing? Or the reservoir perhaps?

Hi! First try to replace the power steering oil, if the problem persists, it seems that the power steering pump is starting to say good bye.

Could be low fluid. If not, then the pump is wearing out. It isn't too bad of a DIY repair - just make sure to get the proper fluid and bleed properly after install or it will still make noise.

Replace the steering reservior before replacing the pump. I had this issue and the cause was a dirty filter/screen inside the reservior that starved the pump causing cavitation. I replaced the reservior and its good as new.
