Power Steering
has anyone's power steering automaticaly shut off while drifting (or any other situation wher the car is still moving going sideways) and the after getting it corrected have it turn back on?

My power steering shut off once when i was boosting on the highway. I stopped and popped the hood. Belt snapped. ^_^ I happend to stop at the mazda dealership and they quoted me $25+ for a new belt. So I gave in and drove home power-steering-less only to lose my A/C belt later. Bad luck i guess. ^_^

How's the fluid level? I could see low fluid sloshing around causing issues...
The steering is speed sensitive, based off input to the speedo. As long as the wheels are spinning, it shouldn't get confused. The assist will drop off over 30mph or so - if you're drifting at low speed and have the rear tires spinning quickly, assist will drop, but it won't feel anything like a full loss of PS. -=Russ=- |
it wasnt me that temporaly lost the PS it was a friend while he was AutoXin he has a 87 gxl if that makes a difference. i just happen to b in the passenger seat when this happened
i told him to check his PS fluid but he just ingored it. He ended up taking the system out now but i wanted to ask the question for my own reference Danny |
