1993 Chevy Corsica LT hard to steer right?

Hi I just bough this car but it has a big steering problem, When I turn either way I have to turn the wheel like a quarter turn before the car starts to turn and when I turn right it feels like there is no power steering and I have to turn the wheel back because it doesn't counter steer on its own when I turn right. Any help would be great thanks.

Sounds like you will have to replace the steering gear (rack and pinion) this is a common problem for this model.

SOURCE: How do I add power steering fluid to 2005 chevy equinox?

first and it's sort of obvious... make sure the motor is off.... look for a cap at the front of the motor where the fan belt is... may even be labled power steering ... you add the fluid there

SOURCE: My 2006 Malibu steering wheel is going bad.

The power steering is electric on that car. It has a electric motor on the column, and a control module. There are several causes that could be the problem. You need to have it scanned to get a better idea of what to do. If you can give me the codes you get then I will be glad to advise you on what's best. Good Luck

SOURCE: power steering on 2006 chevy cobalt

There is NO power steering fluid in a 06 Cobalt. It is electric! This is a flaw that GM is not willing to come to terms with. Try topix.com for the list of over 350 people that this has happened to. Also, the dealership wants YOU to pay for it. There should be a recall. VERY dangerous!

SOURCE: I have a 2003 chevy blazerthat has power steering problem no leak

sounds like the drive belt is loose or the pump is not developing enough pressure at low speed.

Check the tension of the belt that drives the PS pump, since it is working at higher revs, which points to this type of problem. The belt should be quite stiff and possible to push it maybe a half inch in the middle of the longest run. Any more means it is too slack.

Tensioning may involve loosening the pump mount bolts and swinging the pump away from the engine till the belt is firm, and tightening the bolts.

Overtightened belts can wear bearings out prematurely though, don't go nuts with the tension!

If the belt is ok, and you aren't losing fluid, the pump is on its way out, or the rack seals are bypassing fluid back to the pump too quickly.

My chevy cruze 2013 power steering is locked. They key turns and can start the car, but the steering wheel remains locked

Can you take the vehicle out of park and put it into gear? If so, move the car a bit forward or backward and see if the steering unlocks. If so, it was probably parked in a manner that had the steering wheel stressed against a turn.

I own a chevy blazer and steering locked and key wont turn

Hi the chances are the steering lock has locked in a funny position and this is causing it to stay locked.
what you need to do is put the key in the ignition then get hold of the steering wheel and turn it to the left and right as hard as you can whilst turning the key when the steering wheel is turned one way it should unlock the lock and allow you to drive your vehicle.

the wheel may be hard to turn so have the key in the ignition the turn the steering wheel quite hard whilst turning the key doing this should get the lock off and allow you to drive.

let me know if you need further assistance ok

also try putting the key in the other way round as it might be wore on the one side so also give that a try.

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

1996 Chevy Corsica Steering Wheel Locked

You would have to remove the steering wheel assembly to access the lock plate to push the pin back.

Ignition and steering wheel on 1996 Corsica are locked.

Your key or the lock cylinder may be overly worn, to the extent that the key no longer moves the pins to the correct positions to allow the cylinder to rotate.

Assuming that the lock cylinder hasn't been progressively getting more difficult to turn, you may be able to aggressively rotate the steering wheel against the lock back and forth while attempting to rotate the key to disengage a frozen steering lock.
