My power steering stopped working a couple of days ago. I checked the fluid and it is fine. The belt on the pump seemed a little lose but it was hard to tell. There is no screeching or an other noises when I try to steer my car. What could the problem be? Is there a way to check my power steering pump inexpensivly?
