We have a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire limited edition and about a month ago she slammed into a curb. Back driver side slammed on and over the curb and the front just kind of rolled over. Had to replace a sway bar and everything seemed fine..

Before this happened the steering would make like a faint whooshing noise that just got worse after the curb incident...

During the replacement of the sway bar, she was on jack stands on the driver side leaning towards the passenger side for a couple weeks in the garage. after the repair we reversed and seen a nice puddle of what now appeared to be power steering fluid (we figured maybe it was fluid from another car that was in the garage but it wasnt)

Steering became difficult (the wheel had to be turned all the way to the right to go straight) and then it eventually was muscle steering and then we thought about the fluid on the garage floor... so we got her the right fluid filled it up and it was good enough to make it back to the garage to try and diagnose what was going on since there is obviously a leak that we can't find..

Got under neath her and you can hear a dripped noise like fluid on metal after playing with her steering when shes running and then turned off and have no idea where exactly its at....

any ideas on what's leaking and what should be fixed?

oh yea shes over the hill at about 110k

If you need any other info from me more than happy to supply it to get her fixed hopefully this weekend!

Thanks in advance! I read quite a few forums here and everyone seems to be super helpful!

 

Have you taken the engine pan of so you can see better. I guess you have but you do not say.

 

We took the splash guard off.... didnt touch the oil pan.. the pan that's like mid under body of the car; not yet because it looks as if there are other parts that need to be pulled before that... not sure i have the manual but im not sure exactly what pan it is so there for don't know exactly what to look up

 

you probably pushed a line into a pulley that then wore thru, add more fluid, turn on car, turn wheel and look for the leak.

 

That's how we heard the leak dripping against something metal which confused us..
I guess we'll just have to look harder, thanks!

 

If we need anymore parts that you have we'll probably be ordering off your needswings site again
My boyfriend ordered some slotted rotors and brake lines from yah, once shes fixed we have our eyes on the magnaflow

 

we can get anything you need even if it is not listed, just shoot me an email

 

If you can find a drivers side panel for me in red that'd be great! It got ripped off when it hit the curb
i circled the panel I need in purple in the picture

 

PM MrMoPar here.

 

I damaged my passenger side panel and a member here pointed me to an Ebay "buy it now" sale where a seller had both the driver and passenger side for sale. He wouldn't split them up so I bought them both. That said, I have a driver side available if you need one but it is Aero Blue so you will need to paint it to match. Let me know if you can't find one in red and you need this one.
