Default This is what happens when...

...you mix-up your high-pressure and low-pressure power steering lines on the pump:

You start the car, everything sounds right, you look down and the alternator belt is moving just as it should. You smile.

Then, you turn the wheel an inch and the whole steering column goes into an epileptic seizure with the wheels moving back and forth like it's possessed. You scream WTF!, stop the car, start it again, open the PS reservoir and fluid spews out like your engine has a red-wine hangover.

It's a lot of fun, especially the part where you pull off the alternator again.

Man, I hope you didn't get any on the paint. That's going to be hard to clean up, just be sure not to run the car until it is. Stuff is pretty flammable.

Good luck.
