Steering problem
1996 Chrysler Cirrus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 140k miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Just started, when you start the car- turn the steering wheel ( at a stop/ not moving ) approx only 2 inches either direction , sqealing and a pulling / grabbing happens- (It is like you turned the wheel as far as you can turn either direction as sharp as you could.)
The PS belt is tight and the fluid is at its proper level. When you are moving and driving normally this problem does'nt seem to be present or at least not as noticable.
could it be the PS pump is going out or the rack and pinion needing replaced?
I am afraid to let my wife drive the car..
Thanks for your assistance/ please answer as soon as possible?
