steering problems

[ravas]

Hi all,

I'd appreciate any advice with my 2000 Mustang Cnvt. On my commute home tonight I noticed in the last mile the car was making some groaning noises when turning (sounded like the engine but I'm not sure).

Just as I was parking, the noises became louder and the steering wheel became almost stuck. I can only turn it with great difficulty / force. It seems almost locked and is making lots of noise.

Any thoughts what might be causing this? Thanks!

No PS fluid?

Like AP said, check your Power Steering fluid reservoir. It's most likely bone dry. Fill it up and keep a close eye on the level. You may have a leak somewhere down the chain.
