the car was lined up but the steering was still out of wack pulling left to right especially in the snow,i decided to check my fluid level in my power steering pump,what a suprise i got,i was'nt very well please,in the morning in cold temp and before i started the car i pulled the cap off to my supprise the fluid level was right at the top almost pouring out when i took off the cap,i removed i don't know how many seringes but it must have been at least a pint or more to bring her to the cold level mark,i had to take a lot out to get it there,so i ran the car till warmed up to check the hot level mark and removed a little more power steering fluid,my cars steering is just like brand new again,there was way to much fluild in there and i guess she built up a lot of pressure in the pump and fooled up the steering,i'm suprissed she did''nt blow a line,or the pump itself or even the steering rack,i went back to the garage they sais they checked the level when the cam was done but thier not admitting they over filled the level,anyway my car is fine to drive now so i guess with to much fluid and no where for it to go when the fluid gets hot and rises makes your steering go way out of wack,don't know if any other of you guys had this happen to you
