My car has decided to spit out all its power steering fluid out today and now sounds like its just trapped air & the odd bit off fluid left in as its sounds like wishing water going up and down when i turn the wheel lol

is there a certain place they leak/go on the pipes?
can anyone reckomend me the part i need etc etc?

Also i have a wheel bobble at 60/80 only could this be down to the power steering not working.....or could it be more to do with my ball joint has seen better days? lol! :homme:

I would disconnected your pas pump till you sorted the leak gaz, without fluid you will burn it out. Just follow the pips to try to find it :)

Best to clean all the pipes etc and see where its coming from, rather than guessing.
As for your wheel wobble, have you still got your wheel wieghts on? 1st thing I'd check.

Ball joint in my experience will knock on turning rather than cause a wheel wobble, unless you can hear it knocking away like mad at 60mph+

checked the pipes and cant see sod all and everything is dry from what i can get to, is there a part where it joins to the rack that leak?

anyone have any pictures?

& weights are still on the wheels yes, never had any problems,
Then soon as we took wheels off to get the drive shafts off to do them Seals last Sunday it has done it, only between 60/80 and my ball joint/bolt is knackered so that's been changed tomorrow all been well :)
