<P>I saw some Vavoline synthetic power steering fluid at Kragen (FLAP). It would probably be good for low temps. It made the claim that it stopped leaks and was good for lubricating that power steering pump.... something like that... <BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>It was -8F (-22C) in Nebraska this morning and on my way to work my
<DIV></DIV>>power
<DIV></DIV>>steering started not working too well. My tire pressure is good,
<DIV></DIV>>belt and
<DIV></DIV>>fluid level fine.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>After work when it was 15F everything was fine again.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I'm reading up on it.

<DIV></DIV>>>The power steering on ol' Phred feels like it's fading fast.
<DIV></DIV>>>Symptons
<DIV></DIV>>>include, getting tougher to turn the steering wheel, wheels not
<DIV></DIV>>>returning
<DIV></DIV>>>to center without help, notchy/klunky feel to steering action.
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>Tire pressure is good, there is no P/S fluid dripping or spraying
<DIV></DIV>>>anywhere
<DIV></DIV>>>I can see, the belt is attached to the p/s pump, fluid level is
<DIV></DIV>>>good, if a
<DIV></DIV>>>bit high.
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>Anyone care to venture some suggestions?
<DIV></DIV>>>
<DIV></DIV>>>Thanks for the help.
