too much fun?

[ls1nightrider]

I was playing around with my toy doing donuts and now my steering wheel feels to hard to turn, were's my power steering?

[dethinboots]

i think that you will find every member on this site will heavily discourage against donuts. Case and point lol

[ls1nightrider]

I agree i just didnt think a few donuts would hurt

[Guerrillakilla13]

Doing a donut in my car made it choke, nearly die and the gas pedal didn't respond to anything. I had to shut it off and turn it back on. Scary moment nevertheless!

lol what dethinboots said! Our cars just hate donuts for some reason.

PS check your power-steering fluid. Did you hear a whine after it or anything like that?

[ls1nightrider]

Yeah exactly, it wasnt responding well. Thats too bad i use to mess around like this with my mustang with no problem. I still love my t/a.

No not this time but i know what you mean i just had that problem a few days ago with the loud whining noise, thats fixed now

[ls1nightrider]

I let it cool down completly and its fine now...
I dont want abuse it, so no more donuts for me

[jiveass]

i spun a rod bearing while doing a donut....never again.

[ls1nightrider]

How you notice?

[jiveass]

lets see....the severe knocking after i let off the gas lol....

[blackcar]

I broke the shaft from the pully to the power steering pump while doing donuts.

[ls1nightrider]

Guess donuts are a big no no

[Guerrillakilla13]

lol. I Wonder why our high performance f-bodies are so intolerant to abuse.

Good to hear everythings good.

Pretty good indication lol

[ls1nightrider]

Tell me about it.. i take that back its still not acting up right.. ps fluid is fine. My steering get real hard when i turn it at slow speeds about a 1/4 of the way, once i get past the 1/4 it realeses it back to normal

[Guerrillakilla13]

I couldn't tell you man, but maybe your power steering pump might be going bad..

[Smittro]

Ya your pump maybe taking a crap on you.

GM ps pumps are'nt always the greatest, try to stay off the stopper/lock next time.

Take your belt lose. Then see if you can pull the PS pump pully out by hand.

This is starting to sound way to familiar.

[Spikito]

yeah, as soon as i read the first post, i remembered Blackcars thread.

I want to say I've heard of a lot of people loosing their P/S pump doing donuts

[blackcar]

I mine wasn't even donuts. It was a donut. Really 540. I was just turning around.

[ls1nightrider]

Blackcar a 540 is sounding more like what i did.. before this i never did a donut is this car. The last multiple post are making alot of sence.
This is looking like a busy weekend for me :-/
