Subject:      Power Steering Noise '87 Syncro
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Dear List members,


My power steering is making more and louder groaning noises lately.  The
steering wheel has noticeable resistance when parked.  While driving it
feels fine, except at very slow cornering.


Since my esteemed vanagon mechanic is leaving for vacation for a couple
of weeks, and I'm planning a 400 mile trip for Labor Day Weekend, I'm in
need of advice.


What type of failure can I expect, if any?


Should I have a local mechanic do the job; i.e., is it a vanagon
specific type procedure with risk to other systems, etc. if it is not
done by a vanagonaut mechanic?  Or is it a straightforward, all cars are
similar, simple swap job?


TIA.
David
