power steering problem
My powersteering is sometimes working, sometimes not. When it does work I sometimes hear a high pitch "squeel" I guess is comming from it... any ideas what's wrong?

Mine used to do this. It can be a loose connection.

You aint working on the engine though... You would be working on the power steering pump.
Check there enough fluid in it first of all
