Oook, were to begin... i just drove my Camaro for the 1st time on the Freeway... on this jolly little 45min 60-70mph jog my steering tightened up to the point where it takes a good bit of force to turn.. it turns but i really have to pull the wheel around... 2nd at about 65-70mph i hear this weird slapping or clicking noise... but it sounds like littlerocks aregetting kicked up... its not constant.. just random. Also my battery gauge puts me in the orange, right on the line between orange and ok. And my oil gauge is reading low too... Now i went to shucks.. checked my power steering fluid and its full, almost to the top.. (too full?) also... not the way the guy explained it to me, when he went to put the exhuast on he dropped a bolt down the manifold and had to cut it to take it out and when they re-welded the pipe it caused some piping to hit the control arm... could this be the problem? Should i just bring it into a mechanic? I can drive it, turning and control the car is just a bit of a work out.

 

AND ABS INOP... when i first turn it on it also says low oil and it smells funny (exhuast) also it stutters when i start it (didnt do that the first week i had it) Now my friend told me my power steering might be out.... great... any ideas from anyone?

 

Sounds like more than just power steering... The pump may be out. Check to make sure the power steering pulley isn't seized up. Sounds like it is and causing some other problems in turn.

 

ps pulley.. would be where?.. lol.. this thing looks totally the opposite of my old stang... the engine is alil more complex

 

I'm not sure where it's at on the Z28. Look on eBay at the pics of the P/S pump and pulley. Then look for it on your car. That's the only way I can help locate it for you.

 

WOW.... Accessory belt is kaput!!!! Its totally shredded! How the hell am i still driving with no accessory belt? My alt isnt being powered so what.. im running straight battery.. on top of that i need my oil changed... What kind of belt do i need? It looks hard to install... anyone have a how to guide? ive got a hanes book but they confuse the hell outta me sometimes.

 

Well that explains everything. Click here... http://www.autozone.com/N,15300077//...eResultSet.htm

At the bottom it has a link on how to replace it. Good luck!

 

Thanks! Im headed to shucks now..

 

got a new belt and a battery if i cant get my otherone to work..... Uh... and do i need a certain tool... a tensioner or something.

 

I'm not sure what you mean... One of the pulleys should be a tensioner pulley. Move it so as to put slack in the belt. Remove old belt and replace with new one.
