My 97 Grand Prix was driven for months without power steering. I purchased the car about a year and half ago for really cheap. I haven't driven it since I purchased it. I bought her for a project car or a fixer upper. Now, I'm going to start fixing her up because I finally have the time.
The gentleman I bought it from told me that he was driving it for like 6 months without power steering. WOW.....Lol! I drove her around the block today and I didn't hear nothing, it was just hard to turn when I was driving slow. Then, I added fluid and it came out very quick, by the time I made it back from around the block the second time it was empty. It was leaking on the driver side.
The gentleman also told me he changed the power steering pressure line prior to the 6 months of driving it but it didn't fix it, so I guess he just kept driving it like that.
My question is what could of possibly got damaged? Rack and pinion, gear box, power steering pump, etc.....
