    power steering goin out..?

    Well I disabled the ESP on my Charger today, so of course I had to test it out....bad idea...

    I was doing some classic donuts in an empty parking lot, and when i was done my power steering wasn't working too well, drove around a bit and its still the same, almost seems like I have low power steering fluid, but the fluid level is fine

    anyone have any ideas?

    Fluid in the engine bay? Doing donuts in these cars is a bad idea, my car is in the shop waiting for a new pump because I grenaded the pump doing the same thing. The resevoir was full immediately after the pump going, but emptied fairly soon after.

    I have to concure with the blown PS pump theory as well. (And fog light issues?)

    ok fluid is at the same level its always been, so that's ok, and I didn't notice any leak on the ground or in the engine bay.

    Im gonna bring it to the dealer tomorrow, but does anyone think it would be really bad if I drove a little bit tonight, I have a hockey game I gotta get to.
