GDAY!
Was driving my car fine today and then moment ago I jumped in again and went straight just to realize that steering wheel turns very hard to right , skips, has some play and thud sounds...similar when I turn left but less.
When doing full circle I no longer can do full U turn but yet just a half now !
When the car is off and I try to turn steering wheel it turns easy for a little bit BUT wheels dont turn and after that it is still hart to turn it (like before) and wheels turn hard (like before)
Now there is a warning light ON : POWER STABILITY IS OFF !!! (I dont think I have power stability control even though there is a button for it, it doenst do anything when pressed)
ALSO... When going straight , steering wheel is upside down, NOT straight like before ??!!
This thing happened once while driving for a second but then it came back to a normal so I wasnt thinking much about it (mistake).
Month ago I had a A/C compressor failure and after that there was a schreeching/chirping sound from the belt that almost went away by now.
Could it be power steering pump (due to belt misalignment)and how do I diagnose it or WHAT THE ... is it ?
Im way low on cash to see a mechanic so Im hoping theres something I can do?
Desperately need help ...this car swallowed all my savings in a months time and Im not far off jumping off a cliff...damn my luck
Thanks people
EDIT:
I had this car for 5 months now and what I noticed (and never done a thing about it...stupid) is when accelerating from stop to a right turn there was always a repetituous tock...tock...tock sound that goes away after few seconds driving straight
