Mercury Villager (1996), mileage 120,000. I have a problem turning at low speed. When I try to park, I can't. The noise is a loud squeal and I almost have to stand on the wheel to turn it. While I drive on the highway the steering is fine. Does this sound like the powersteering pump or rack and pinion? The timing belt has not been changed yet and I need a new exhaust. Some of these things I can do myself, but I wonder if I should sell it and trade for something else. P.S. other than gerneral maintenance, the van has treated me well for 100,000 miles. Any Ideas will be appreciated. Paul

Replying to: toomanyfumes (Jul 02, 2006 10:22 am) After taking a closer look at the belts and pulleys I have more "bad news". The belts are cracking and the water pump is leaking past the pulley. Timing belt needs to be changed as well. The trans. fluid could be causing the p/s belt to slip and cause the noise or I could be looking at changing the p/s pump and tensioner assy. This is a job beyond my ability and skill. How much will this repair run? Thanks Paul

Replying to: paulvillager (Jul 02, 2006 3:42 pm) Paul, I've been encountering a similar problem. I just purchased this vehicle recently and have noticed lately there is a squeeling noise at low speeds (i.e. while parking or stopped). If it is the power steering pump, I've priced one at Advance Auto for $158.88 with free shipping. Does anyone else know of a vendor that would be cheaper than that for a reman. pump? Also, how difficult would it be to replace that part? I'm still waiting on the Haynes repair manual that I ordered for the Quest, so I'm not sure what the job would entail. Thanks, Adam

we are going a 2000 mile round trip. Of course, I want to get the "rig" in top shape before we leave. 1. does the vechile require and special type of Xmission fluid or coolant? 2. what type of gas mileage do you see in similar model years. I get 18-21 mpg. Thanks, Pat |

Replying to: barmac (Jul 06, 2006 7:27 am) Mn_pat, my '99 Quest gets around 24 to 27 on the road; all time high was 29.9. We usually run with bulky camping gear but not too much weight (two people) but often have a canoe on top that shaves a mile or so mpg off. Steve, Host |

 I have a 1994 Mercury Villager and the caliper mounting bolt holes on the steering knuckle are rusted, corroded and are a tad oversize. I have purchased an oversized bolt to remedy the problem, but instructions say it is for one time use. Anyone know of a more permanent fix?? Hopefully it will be something relatively easy to do and not very expensive. Thanks
