Default ok........this is bad!!

I think I killed my power steering!!....Was messing around comeing home from work and it got REAL HARD to steer, so I stopped and tried to turn the wheel. I got like 5* around and some funky *** noise like a loud deep clicking sound.....So I pulled into a parking lot under a light and checked to make sure my belt was still good and it seemed like it was and the fluid "seemed" ok but still no power steering.

I guess thats your answer...loud grinding/clicking noises are NOT good...

does it make the noise even when you don't try to turn the wheel? If so...my vote is to blown PS pump <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
