Power Steering question
New to this forum.
2000 Neon ES 75k miles, no codes, no leaks, runs and idles fine.
Observation: W/O warning the steering gets real hard to turn, loss of "power steering effect". fluid level normal, no sounds/noises.
Pump bad?
Common or uncommon problem with this year and model?
All recalls have been addressed. Haven't looked at all the TSB's yet.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Neones

this may not be it but. one time my son had a honda and it had trouble like yours. what happened was the oil pump had a slightly
worn shaft seal and it would suck air into the pump, air doesnt work in a steering box. it is very rare for a pump to suck air in, most of the time a leeking seal will let fulid out. but it can rarely let air in.
