That's fun as well. We take them from a local Arby's because they are thicker than the ones from McDonalds/Burger King/Wendys.

yea, I've done that. (DONT EVER DO THIS IN YOUR CAR >>>) I put it in reverse, turned the steering wheel all the way to one direction and floored it...when I stopped, I heard a "snap" and I had no power steering. completely destroyed the shaft on the power steering pump and had to pay 120 bucks for another one, and went through 2 pulleys in the process.

im 24 and would do that in a heartbeat.. looks like a hella good time.. and WTF does that have to do w/ steering issues? if anything, its a tranny issue w/ the tires going differnt speeds.. thats the only possible damage that can occure.. steering is doing its job wether your going in dognuts or driving on a windy road..

looks sweet man!

Fast spinning power steering pump (directly related to RPM's) plus more pressure on system = blown pump or something else serious with steering. When doing donuts like that, or having the wheel at full lock (a 50% increase in pressure in the system) the pump is working VERY hard and with constant usage like that it will fail no doubt about it.

EDIT: and tires turn at different speeds at every single turn you take, its only really serious if one is going and the other is dead

Yea, but when one is doing a burnout and the other doing nothing, like the Tauras video taht started it all, that will kill the trans.
