I the have a 2011 LR4 and have been having some power steering problems. Just started a few days ago, whenever I try to turn the wheel it gets stuck in certain spots in rotation. I can still turn but it's much harder, like the power steering pump not working--again, only in certain spots. It's been getting quickly worse the past couple days.
I took it to a shop and they said my power steering fluid is burned and they "guess" that it clogged the pump somehow and that they can fully replace it and see if that helps. They quoted me $1200 for the repair.
My question is this: why would my fluid be burned? If the pump is clogged wouldn't it be hard to steer altogether, not just at certain points? And is $1200 really what it should cost to replace the pump? I could really use some suggestions.
Thanks guys!
