steering fucked

[HondaManDan]

alright... i need to know if my steering is shot to shit... for a while i've had a minor leak in the front end.. that cooler bar that goes infront of the radiator has had a small leak at the braket... anyhoo.... i keep the fluid level safe all the time... check it every week and i dont let it get below the min. level. this week i noticed that there is a SHIT load of creaking noises as i start my car... like it'll moan a little as i back out of the driveway and creak and squeak and shit... driving down the road it groans and clunks a little... not only this but when the car is off and parked if you wiggle the steering wheel left and right just a little you can hear a bit of clicking as you see the tire move.... is my power steering unit shit now? i mean im kinda scared to drive my car when it groans at me.
thanks

HELP??? please!!!!!

hmm. well i have almost both of the problems you have. the clicking is your cv boot check that. and the power steering try some stop leak additive. it worked for me.

does it click when standin in place or when driving an steering ! if when driving so it's propably your CV joints !

BTW don't be afraid to drive your car ! power steering is designed so the car will steer even if it's shot !

i highly doubt it's the CV joints... i just got new axles and CV's in plus it's not that kind of clicking.. it's like a once and a while click when going over bumps and hills... not a tick tick tick like the CV's make...

may be ball joints ! not sure if they make that kinda sound !
