So after reading a good format to put this information in I decided to rewrite this topic lol. I drive a 1997 chevy lumina automatic 140(ish)k miles. A couple years ago I took my car into the mechanic for a power steering issues. Well just today on the way to my mothers house I filled up with gas and drove out of the gas station and did a 145 degree turn while turning I romped on the gas by accident and because of the rain peeled out. After my car straightened out I noticed my steering was EXTREMELY stiff. I got to my mothers house and checked for any leaks of power steering nothing noticeable it was getting dark and had minimal light. Well after about 2 hours i went back out to the car and started it and heard a noise coming from the engine compartment of my car that did not sound good the steering was still extremely stiff. I turned the car off and leaving it at my moms house until tomorrow.
Now I am guessing this is 1 of two things because my power steering never actually “worked” to begin with cause of the whinnying.
Power steering pump COMPLETELY not working
OR
Rack and Pinion though i am not sure on the rack and pinion option.
Thoughts?
SECOND car 97 cavalier
Can i check a 97 chevy cavalier the same way that eric did on his youtube video? I do not know much about the car other than it is a automatic 130k ish miles mechanic says there was a leak in the heater core. how would you be able to notice a leak in the heater core? wouldn’t leak into the car itself?
