Hey everyone, 1996 Ford Contour GL 4cyl 2.0L Automatic 215000kms
I have noticed recently, that there is some "play" with the steering wheel. What i mean is i am driving down the road, and can wiggle the steering wheel, oh a good 2 inches or so, either way with no reaction from the wheels.
Also, the car sometimes seems to drift side to side abit....just about enough that would seem logical is in relation to the excessive play in the steering.
And thirdly, when i turn the wheel fast, or all the way, i hear the power steering pump groaning. I am assuming i need to replace the pump. But before i go and buy one and do the work, id like to know if there is anything else it could be. Fluid level is normal and never drops (no leaks)
thanks, ken
