This 2006 Subaru Forester was bought to our Ann Arbor import auto repair shop with an oil leak and noisy power steering.
An underhood inspection by our Subaru specialist technician found the power steering fuild level was low and the power steering pump was noisy due to air being drawn into the pump. The vehicle was lifted on the hoist for an under vehicle inspection to find the power steering fluid leak. The high pressure line from the pump to the steering rack unit and the return line were leaking.
This 2006 Subaru Forester was towed to our shop with a customer-reported steering problem. A full inspection of the front suspension found extensive damage caused by rust. Another victim of the harsh Michigan winter road conditions and those dreaded Ann Arbor potholes.
