Steering problem at low speeds	Sign In

Year of vehicle - 2002
Make of vehicle - Chrysler Intrepid ES
Engine size - 2.7L
Mileage/Kilometers - 90000 miles
Recent Work - Engine replaced 1500 miles ago

Hey,

The issue is that the wheel became very hard to turn once at low speeds specifically in a parking lot getting out of a space. This happened once a couple of days back and has not happened since, is the power steering pump failing, or can this have anything to do with any other steering component? Also can this be related to the engine replacement done recently?

thanks in advance for your assistance

Hmm? It's not happening now so that will make it tricky of course. I'd look at belt and how tight it is AND check fluid level in PS reservoir.

Look for leaks if low. If this has any "greasable" front end parts - ( a maybe with ball joints) then make sure they are freshly greased.

Lot's of possible things with the R&R of an engine. I would think if something were damaged when removed and replaced it would have shown up right away - a leak might take time.....

It may also have a switch in the high pressure line that raises the rpm when low speed turning is required. It raises the rpm by 50 to 100 to make it easier to turn.

Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
