On certain vehicles, the bearing on the power steering hydraulic pump may get damaged causing the hydraulic fluid to leak, because the drive belt for the pump is tensioned too tight from the installation. If this problem is left unattended, the steering can become heavier, and in the worst case, the pump could overheat from friction leading to a fire.
