problem #3

Feb 012001

Aerostar

  • miles
The metal portion of power steering fluid return hose and one of the metal lines to the power steering gear box/actuator are mounted in such a manner that they rub together and over time rub away at the metal and develop leaks that cause the power steering fluid to leak out causing a catastrophic failure of the power steering. The only indication of this failure is whining coming from the engine compartment.
