Oh no guess august is gonna be one of those months, So i start the car up this morning and turn the wheel and I hear the dredded power stearing moan SO i goto the autoparts store get some synthetic auto trans fluid and put it in there the level was pretty low. I am wondering when I had the fluid flushed they put power steering fluid in and It took me about 15 miles to realise it then I drove it back and had them change it would the 30miles have damaged it?:mad:

Well They just checked it out and they say I need a new pump a new left front wheel bearing and a right transverse link.

1st Question how hard is it to install the power steering pump?2 The transverse link3 The wheel bearing I am probably gonna have to take that one in

is there any special tools I need?

Any other suggestions or tips would be great!
