I have a dodge day van. i think that the power steering fluid has leaked. is it a big expensive job to fix?
Answers:
My dad knows a lot about cars and he helped me fix my accord. Luckily I fixed it before the steering went stiff like yours, but did it start making like a humming sound before that? Mine did and they warned me that it would lock up like that if I didnt get it fixed, so I replace the power steering pump, you can buy it at a auto parts store, I got mine from my dads used auto parts, n it worked fine. n e ways replace that n it should be fine, empty your old powersteering fluid or buy a bottle and buy a new bottle of powersteering fluid (preferably with the kind with the cleaner mixed with it) and use that, it should be fine afterwards.
Yeah it's a pain in the butt to do it yourself. I'd have a mechanic do that one.
Depends on the location of the leak. If the seals in the pump have gone you are looking at $300+, but if it's just a hose then you might get it done for under $200.
Good luck.
if its a minor leak go too the auto store they have a sealant for that, if not check to see if the fittings are tight , if not that than take to a shop, it shouldn't be that much i had one done for under a hundred, good luck.
Depends on actual site of leak. Power steering rack&Pinion high pressure/or low pressure cost is relevantly fair,$100.00/ if you do it yourself. cost of with labor $687.00.
It all depends on what is leaking.Also I,m not sure what a day van is.But as a long time Chrysler mechanic this is usually an expensive repair. If it is just a hose then it is not too bad but replacing a rack and pinion unit(front wheel drive vehicle,s) can be an expensive repair at least 500$. I guess you will have to have it checked by a shop and verify what the leak is. Good luck and wish I had better news.
yes it could be expesive as it is not a main stream model
