Steve-o and I have talked about this in the past. . . but slaloms and quick direction changes and momentary loss of p/s. I fought it all last season from teh beginning of the season. This year, it's gone.
During the clutch fiasco this winter, I ended up flushing (mostly) the p/s fluid with Valvoline synthetic fluid. This weekend's auto-x between me and my co-driver we never experienced any loss of power steering. So, if you are fighting the same thing, flush the fluid with some decent synthetic. It "appears" to be the fix. -------------------- Founding Member of the Indiana Chapter of the Teeny Weeny Club for Secure Adult Males

I've never experienced it during autox, it did happen at low speeds when I had just changed my belts and it was a touch loose but that was quickly rectified never to rear it's ugly head again.

I have always wondered if there was anything special about Hyundai P/S fluid.
I may do this soon. --------------------    "Those who yell the loudest about how unfair the world treated them are usually the reason for the treatment in the first place". A nurse on a forum I am on |
