>suddenly steering felt a little loose
>steering symptom worsened a little throughout the day, but then stabilized to a loose diarrhea feeling
I drove it for a while after this then I took it to a shop. He said it was fine because it was still responsive, however the steering is supposed to have a weighted feel to it because sports car so I knew it wasn't "fine".

>steering got loose as fuck

>hissing sound from power steering pump
Help /o/, what can it be? Power steering pump or could it be something else? I'll throw some bread on the hood and take pics if you guys help me out.

Check the power steering fluid.

probly your power steering dumped itself out on the road and the hissing is from the pump trying to pump a whole lot of fucking nothing.

Power steering fluid is in the pump. Its a dark color, but its there.

Go to a different mechanic who actually knows what theyre talking about.

When did you change it last? It should be changed every 5 years.
Also, check for leaks overnight. Put a piece of cardboard under the engine.
>>
>>16022128
Never changed it desu. Its not leaking though, maybe its burning?

>>16022005
I know some vehicles have "speed dependent" Steering. If the steering feels too easy but still turns properly (no slack) it could be that that system is running the power steering at full power even at speed? No idea if it applies to your vehicle op, just brainstorming.

Take it to a mechanic who will actually fucking check the thing properly because if fuckstick there didn't pick up on the old power steering fluid he clearly didn't look at a damn thing.

If there's nothing clearly loose or leaking from underneath, replace the power steer fluid, rotate your tyres and make sure they're at 34psi and see if that helps.
