my '89 westy syncro binds up really tight when its hot and i make a sharp turn...like to turn around in a parking lot...the binding seems to be more than what one would expect from the vc on a tight turn....its almost like the brakes are on...the vehicle will not roll freely...and it does not bind to this extent when not hot.... am i doomed? will changing the fluid help? hurt? i appreciate any response....to this most disturbing symptom...effect....whatever... |
