I am sure this is an easy question, so here goes.
Pretty much since I have had the vehicle, my power steering has been pretty poor. Especially in parking lots, drive throughs, etc. where the speed is slow. When I bump the RPMs up, the assistance improves, but sometimes I just need it to turn before I give it any gas.
I've heard it could be a speed sensor, or the pump. The fluid doesn't look pretty, and I've exchanged some (but not enough yet), but the situation doesn't seem to be improving.
Am I looking at a speed sensor? I am getting no noise from the pump, all seems normal there. Just not enough assistance at slow speeds.
