So I started feeling a strange shimmy when I applied the brakes going down some curvy hills and thought maybe my rotors were bad (they put new pads on to stop the squealing brakes a few thousand miles ago.....didn't touch the rotors....don't worry, they'll be fine, they said). Also, at about the same time, I started to hear a strange whine from under the hood especially when I would start the van in the morning.
Decided to check the power steering fluid. Nothing on the stick. I bought a liter and had to add 3/4 of it.
Does anyone know if there is damage to the pump by running so low on fluid?
I've got 15,000 miles on this thing. I had the oil changed recently at about 12,000. Apparently they didn't check the power steering fluid level....unless it all leaked out in the last 300 miles. Bummer.
So, what I wanted to say is.....Check your power steering fluid level.
