temporary loss of PowerSteering after doing donuts???

StuTheMusicEngineer · Jan 22, 2007

anybody have the same problem, I will dog it out a bit, (nothing crazy, just a 30 seconds of donuts) and I start to lose powersteering, and sometimes it almost kills the engine at idle when I turn the wheel.....( and just so you know the pwr steering fluid level is perfect)....it goes away after i let the car sit for a few minutes....

I also found some drops of pwr steering fluid on the front swaybar but not much, and not enough leaking to make the powersteering fluid level low...

is something broke, or is this common after running the engine so hard...my 95 stang never did this...

thanks in advance for any input...
