Hey guys,

I recently took my car in for a service and was told that my power steering rack has a crack in it where the lines go into it so the place said to tighten it up and unfortunately they snapped it. I then bought a new remaunfactured power steering rack and put it in. The power steeering was fine for about a day for two then when i was driving to work i turned right and my power steering cut out, the steeering came back eventually but when i was driving the steering wheel was making a shudder. when i stop its back to normal. this is an intermitent problem, it comes and goes.

I took it back to my mechanic and he said the power steering rack is faulty.
I took it to the CV specialist place where i bought it from and he said it is the power steering pump..

has anyone experienced this problem with it cutting out?
any help will be appreciated.

thanks!

fluid is full and at correct levels on hot and cold. As for the tension not too sure... any way of personally doing it myself? Could the tension be loose or something..?
