Power Steering

My dad and I noticed that the steering is getting tighter in the car, and it feels like the power steering isn't working 100% anymore.

Its not as bad as no ps, but its noticibly degraded over awhile.

Any place we can look and check to see if theres any problems? If the ps fluid is low, could that be a prob?

First, check the reservior to see if it is low. If the fluid's low, check the lines at the reservoir, pump and rack. The lines are the most common leaks with Honda power steering, and they usually leak at the ends.

If that doesn't work check the condition of your power steering belt.

You might need to replace it or adjust it...
