my power stearing is fadeing in and out. I switched all of the hoses so they are not leaking(and what a pain that was). and fillled it up and its still not working all of the time my olny guess is that the pump is going out if there are any other ideas please tell me.

I had this prob with my old rx7. Alternator wasnt charging battery enuff so when i turned a corner the power dropper 4-5 volts causing the steering to become more heavy! Also made the lights dim too hehe! Disco!

nope just checked my alternator is working fine. even when I take sharp turns. my friend said I might have gotten power stearing fluid on the belt when I replaced the hoses. I guess ill just take it in to the mechanic tommrow.
