Over winter i was doing donuts and kept the steering wheel turned all the way turned bc I didn't know it would damage anything and then my power steering pump started making a light wine and never got worse but over time the steering got stiffer when rpms were low so when I was backing up or turning from a stop I would need to feather my pedal and get them up a bit so I could turn. And tonight i parked it after driving for a bit and it was fine, then i took it back out and pretty much no power steering. Fluid is still there. I dont know how the steering pump works so if someone who does could tag along I would highly appreciate it! And for those of you who don't know. Dont keep your steering wheel turned all the way👍

Update: About 5 mins later right before pulling into my neighborhood I was going like 30 and I had power steering again. Turned into the neighborhood easy, dropped someone off, still worked but right when I got to my house it stopped working again.

Same thing happened in mine years ago, wasn't doing doughnuts but was making my way up a snow covered street on an incline. Had the keep the tires going or I would've slid backwards and off the road. Power steering pump is burned up. Ended up having to get a reman unit. It's a little louder than stock one, but it works. Doubtful you could find a new OEM one, but I would suggest trying that first as aftermarket and reman units aren't as quiet as the factory one!

I'm running open long tubes so it wouldnt matter anyway what is the exact part name I need?

I was able to get stock one off rockauto a few months back

I think pumps can still be found online no problem, the reservoir is a different story and may be discontinued
