My Canyon is not steering as smoothly as it used to. Nothing seems to be wrong with the steering pump and the power steering fluid isn’t low and not leaking. There is a slight squeal when I turn the steering wheel. There seems to be places in the turn where it is easier to turn and places where it is more difficult. What do you think?

How many miles on the vehicle? Or to be more precise, how many miles on the power steering fluid?

I just recently got the truck. I’m assuming it is the same as the milage on the truck which is 90,000.

Then I would do a power steering fluid exchange and cross your fingers. And if that doesn’t work, you may need this product.
