Squeels when I turn the wheel

ViperGuy · 08-23-2006, 06:57 PM

Yup everytime the car is not moving or going at a slow rate of speed and I turn the wheel at any speed it squeels like mad. I thought it was the steering fluid, but my dad and I topped it off and it kept on doing it even after we did that. Any ideas?

Check and make sure the PS belt is tight.

if it is tight, it might be worn

bearings?

if it is bearing you will feel a vibration or something usually...

its pretty common if u have an 80s..it can be the power steering itself, i understand my truck squeels for 5 minutes afer startup(i dont' ask)...like everyone else said, check the bearings.
