URGENCY: When the bearings fail completely, the fan will pull forward and slice a nice big smile-shaped chunk out of the radiator, making it leak profusely.9 f+ [' ?3 F/ L: i. u4 {

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
& B# p4 E7 H# ~/ iWHAT: The pressure relief valve inside the pump is dumping excess power-steering hydraulic fluid back into the reservoir. It's supposed to do that, although maybe a little more quietly.( [0 W$ s2 w2 E1 F8 {* i6 v
URGENCY: No big deal.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
