i just was driving home and i was about 1km away when my steering turned to ****, i couldnt turn more than half a turn either way, doing the right hand turn into my street i had to do a 3 point turn! its just not letting me turn the wheel! its like you know when you try and turn it when the car is off and its really hard, thats what its like when i was driving, anyone have any idea or info on whats happened! thanks.

sounds like PS pump to me!

happened in a mates old car, turned like a barge and it was a workout and a half to turn it!

Does it still have powersteering? even for those half turns... could be steering rack related

Can you turn it the rest of the way with force?

nah didnt wanna force it, would hate for something to snap n cost me more money! but yeah, just got off the fone with my dad and my mate who works for AAA and they both said that if the alternator fan thing spins then i dont need a new one, and it spins easily so im *** so happy i dnt need to buy a new one, all i need to get is a new belt! :D
yeah the belt was gone :confused:
