Re: Power steering loss !!!

Hi. Welcome to AF (I just sent you a PM). Please put the year/make/model/modifications of your car in your sig so people can get back to you quicker.

One of the more classic indicators of powersteering loss are a loud whinning/moaning sound coming from the steering as you turn. Have you checked your PS fluid?

Also, check the axel/joint area where the stress and impact occured. It could have broken something if it happened with enough intensity. Have the vehicle lifted and inspect the damage yourself (lest mecahnics try to rip you off by saying "oh you need a new engine!", etc).
