    Hey guys.

    Well as per title realy, my power steering has become a little jerky and tuff, kind of like its about to fail all together!

    its fine when driving around, just seems to do it when parking etc and when i hold the wheel at certain points it sounds like there is a river running behind my dash with a slight humming noise.

    Any ideas guys?

    Its a 02 VTS.

    Searchd running water noise etc but just brought up threads about the coolant system.

    Thanks, Karl.

    Yeah, checked all the fluid levels last week.

    it wasnt at the max mark but wasnt empty either.

    Check the jubilee clip on the low pressure return isn't leaking.

    500ml is what it takes from empty.
