I was driving home when I notice my steering wheel was up side down so on my next turn I paid more attention and when I turned I could feel it slipping. I made it home put my car in park and turned the wheel and it just kept turning and turning, no locking, no wheels moving, nothing. HELP!
If Your steering wheel keeps turning as in a 360 degree circle that means the steering column has broken or came away from the steering rack they are usually connected by what you call steering ujs something on shaft from column to rack has broken away nothing to do with cv joints or brake fluid if it was belt related that has snapped the steering will still turn it will be just really heavy the pump just helps assist steering my money is on the steering column shaft

Hi Dan
You did not indicate whether you checked the fluid level for your power steering. Please check this first. Please read your owners manual for specific instructions!
You may be low on fluid.
The next step would be to check your engine belt. The power steering pump is driven by a belt. It is possible that you have a loose or worn belt that is not able to turn the pump sufficiently at idle, but when you rev the engine higher, the pump produces sufficient power. One way to test this is to rev the engine, then try to turn the wheel, see if you notice any difference. Let me know.

Try jiggling the steering wheel back and forth while turning the key.

this sounds like an issue with the power steering rack and pinion unit, poss one of the internal O ring seals leaks when cold, try using LUCAS oils power steering conditioner, it is the only one I know of that really works, also I would recommend you flush the power steering fluid before you add this product.

Check and make sure that upper or lower ball joints are good listen for noise on the OUTSIDE of vehicle. Good Luck. thanks for using FIX YA
