Default Help please.

Ok, here's the problem, you know how when your car isn't started and its real hard to turn your tires. Well my car is doing that after its been started. Think you know what the problem might be?

That's why you're supposed to use power steering fluid and not tap water.

and the viscosity is effected by temp, more so then engine oil and brake fluid...maybe froze was the wrong term in my OP, but more like sluggish, like there was air in the line or something....


But I do not endorse hooker spit or urine.
