|  Loss of power steering after braking I suspect this one will require a professional diagnosis, but just thought I'd ask in case it's something obvious. Over the last three months or so I've noticed that my steering wheel has been very hard to turn on occasions. After some experimenting, it seems to me that it happens only when I turn immediately after braking (say, to turn into a ninety degree junction). It only happens when I try to turn sharply and does not happen if I just slow down gradually through the gears then turn in. When it happens, it feels as though the power steering has switched off, or at least is significantly reduced. I have checked the level of power steering fluid and it looks fine to me. Any suggestions before I take it to a professional?
