Re: lumina steering

hmmmmm, seems to me I remember someone telling me that certain year luminas had a recall on the power steering. Maybe start there. And maybe check to make sure the pump is operating. It must not be siezed up because it would cause the belt to break, and you'ld lose everything since its all on that one belt. But my first guess is the pump itself.
