Hi there,
My wife and I drive a 2011 CX-7. I recently tagged along with my wife on a work trip to Vegas, and we left our vehicle in the long term parking at the airport for 5 days.
Since we returned, the power steering has been playing up, and my online searches haven't yielded any direct solution.
Symptom:
Steering becomes increasingly stiff when RPM drops below 1500 and speed below 20mph
Testing:
Checked the fluid levels, they were slightly low. No change after topping up fluid.
Pumped up all the tires.
Disconnected battery for 30 minutes.
I'm assuming the rack is okay, based on the fact that the steering is fine under power. Is that a fair assumption?
Is there anything I may have overlooked?
Is it possible to test/verify the pump?
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
