Something wrong with steering?
Everytime I am driving slow and turning, I can hear my suspension or steering making some clicking noise.
What should I check to see what part is having problems? I checked the power steering fluid and it was full.
One more thing, my parking brake light keeps coming on because of leaky brake fluid. I filled up my brake fluid not too long ago, and now it needs more. I have ABS in my car, and one squeaky front brake. Should I just take it to Midas and get it checked up. What would some of you do?
Thanks

the whole clicking thing ive "heard" is either your power steering is going out, or the axle bushing i think it is, or some type of bushings anyways that deal with power steering the best thing to do is just take it to a mechanic and ask questions. Wont cost youanything and thier usually right.

How would the parking brake light come on when your fluid is low. Because the parking break light is turned on by a switch that is moved by pulling the parking break handle.

the parking brake light does come on by low brake fuild because of certain valves that detect when fuild is low and puts on the parking brake light, best thing to use is the Castrol GT LMA brake fuild DOT3 and DOT4

I'm thinking my rack might be farked up. I inspected the thing, suspension is tight... everything is good. I do need an alignment though. Perhaps that's an indication that my car had a disagreement with a curb with the previous owner, no?

Please DO NOT take your 7 to Midas. They are a bunch of butchers.
The brake master cylinders on the FC are notorious for leaking. Mine does, but not too badly. Rebuilt units are cheap and plentiful - visit your local parts store. You can also change it out yourself. You'll probably want to have someone help you bleed the brakes afterwards.

I'd suggest that something in the pump is failing and that you ought to replace the unit...
