have you changed the fluid? if not get a turkey baster and suck all the fluid out then refill with valvoline syn-power power steering fluid. then start the engine and turn the wheel lock to lock about 10 times. Then turn off the engine and repeat until the fluid is nice and clear. that should restore the steering feel as well as get rid of the squeal! it would be a good idea to suck the fluid out of the res and refill it every 15,000 to 20,000miles


see ya!

i used to get that it was due to low fluid

Actually there is a easier and better way to get all the fluid out.
You NEED two people, not maybe you do, you do.

Disconnect the return hose. Have the friend sit in the car, while he turns the wheel, fluid will come out of the return hose, as it is you are dumping new fluid into the resivor.

It comes out fast to, over a quart in less than second, so get ready for it.
