Default 1997 LS400 Power Steering Problem
Hey,

My LS400 has been having trouble with the power steering (I believe), but the steering wheel becomes extremely light all of a sudden while on the freeway. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this? I've checked the power steering fluid already.

Thanks!
