2000 GMC Yukon
My Yukon turns hard in both directions. It feels like the tires are
pushing something. It takes more force than normal to turn to the left and right. Pump? Any one had a problem like this? Thanks, Lyle |

Do you have a 4x4? If so, make sure it's not in 4X4 mode. If
not, check if the PS pump has hydraulic fluid to the proper level. Franko "LyleDPfeifer" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... > My Yukon turns hard in both directions.

If the PS belt was broken completely, that would make it very very hard to turn. Check the air pressure in the tires, and as Frank said make sure 4WD is not engaged. -- spud_demon -at- thundermaker.net The above may not (yet) represent the opinions of my employer. |

I guess I should of said its a 1500 4WD. I put on a new rebuilt pump for
NAPA, it didn't help. It seems to be worse at the lower engine speeds. I noticed at idel, it is extreamly dificult to turn the wheel. Now I am wondering if I got a bad rebuilt pump? I am going to try to set the idel up a bit. Thanks to all who responded. Lyle |
