| When cold, power steering is very hard to turn. sometimes will hardly turn at all, to the point of being dangerous. i am the second owner, and have all records from the original owner. i know this is an older car, but, it is in beautiful condition. i have read elswhere that this is a recognized problem with this car. is there anything that can be done at this time?*ak | |||
