Help my power steering wont work
ok i got this car awhile ago as a bit of a project. it just had a few things wrong with it. well when i went to drive it i notced the power steering didnt work. so i looked under the hood and found that there was no belt on the pump. so i put a belt on then tried it. still didnt work. then i found the the hoses had bad leaks so i replaced those. then it worked but then the bracket that holds the cylender to frame broke. and that was a couple months ago and i have now just got that fixed. so when i put the new bracket on the power steering didnt work again. so whats up. i neeeddd heelllllpppp thanks :banghead:

Replace the pump. I just did mine last weekend. Find someone with an impact wrench to take off the pulley if your usual parts dealer doesn't have one.
