Asked by Nathaniel May 05, 2012 at 10:43 PM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Turning right is perfectly fine but when trying to turn left the car seems and sounds like it is running low on power steering fluid.  I
checked the fluid level, no issue there.  I then replaced the pump, bleed the system and still the same symptoms.  Any ideas?  
This is really getting annoying since this is my only car and I still have to drive it.  It has progressively gotten worse over time (last
week or so)  any help is greatly appreciated!

hey Nathaniel did you ever solve your problem. Out of no where my impala just started giving me trouble turning left, but i can turn right with no problem. I can also turn left when the car is in motion.
