alexb123 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi All, For a number of months the steering has been getting harder even at times sort of grinding. Then for a day for 2 it can be back to being as good as new. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 check the power steering fluid. drain it out & replace with new. if that does not help then replace the power steering motor. check all linkages under the car are not dry or worn out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexb123 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Okay well the first one of these is something I could do myself. This is a first I'll give it a go :) Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 i would also check the aux belt as that may cause the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordkangatimoti Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The grinding noise is usually not enough fluid and the pump is cavitating (sucking in air) it could go away as the fluid heats up as it expands a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
