hello,
i have a 2003 infiniti g35 sedan. i was in a driveway made of pebbles.i tried to do couple of donuts , it worked perfect but my cars steering wheel got really hard..when i m driving the car its easy to turn but when i m at slow speed or parking then it gets really hard...just to make it more clear..my steering wheel fluid is full..the car dsnt make any sounds..there isnt any problem in driving..

i am new to this community so i am not sure if my question has already been answered by someone..i would appreciate all the answers.
thanks alot!

 

how many miles on the car?

 

the car has 166k

 

^ have you ever changed out the Power steering fluid?

 

no i havent..it can b one of the reason..bt i am still confused..it happened right after doing the donut...i dint get it..i did couple of donuts early in the day..nothing happened..bt when i tried agn..it started to cause problem..

 

and thnx for ur time man!! appreciate that!!

 

whats a steeling wheel?

 

haha. not laughing at you but it is kinda funny.

im guess the fluid is super dirty and maybe not letting the power steering pump work properly.

 

hahahah!!! i just noticed!!! thats pretty retarded of me!! ya i will chng the fluid tmr!i bought the car couple of mnths ago and the fluid was fine at that time... i looked at it today it was black...

 

you should take it kinda easy on the old gal. You know if pop pop was railing Grandma from behind she might break a hip.

 

sure man!!
bt G shud be able to take this much!

 

thanks for the image! yuck!

anyway, OP check the tension on your belts as well. but more than likely, its the fluid as stated

 

hmm..sure...thnx!!

 

Why would you do donuts in a pebble-filled driveway? You need to take care of your car if you want it to last another 100K mikes.

 

ya man..i got it checked today..the mechanic said the steering pump needs to be replaced..and is it bcz car has alot of km or bcz of pebbles??
