Power Steering

[Yeager_22]

Hey all, I went out to do a lil mudding the other day. Now I have an issue with power steering. I believe I got all the mud out from the under carriage, and I do not have a power steering leak (I filled it up, and it's still full).

I only come across the power sterring issue when i have to make a really tight turn, other than that it feels just fine. I was wondering if the V8's have two separate power steering belts?

Thanks in advanced.

Might be that mud or dirt got around the belt causing it to slip a little.

Just one belt for everything.

It's a serpentine belt...but it still could be slipping. You'll notice it more in the power steering then anything else. The alternator can probably slip a little without any notice if under light load.

Thanks a lot. I'll take a look at it.
