j carvell:
please could some one help me  i was spinning around in some mud at weekend as started to drive off power steering work onand off stiff one miniute normal the next  this happend last year it was fine after i changed track rod ends so ive changed them again topt the oil up but still the same got a sort of squeek coming from by alternator but i think thats the bearing gon aswell all replies gratley received

stageonesimmo:
Power steering pump on teh way out?  The squeak could be the pump bearings seizing - is the belt wearing pretty fast as this will alos point to a partially seized pump - the drop in level wont help either as the pump is lubricated by the steering fluid.

Disco-Ron:
Could be a loose or damaged belt, check that first, if the belt got wet when you were in the mud, that could made it slip, if it slipped for long, it could have got hot and stretched....
