I was driving in my 90 civic lx and then all of a sudden my steering goes berserk and starts making funny noises and stops working when i wanted to turn it when my car was parked, then when i get moving the steering goes back to normal but a small shreak is heard. Then when i stop the steering goes hard, but i move and i goes back to normal, then i heard a horrible noise, something like a chain on a bicycle, I parked the car open the hood and I see the pulleys or the thing where the steering belt rotates fallen in the bottom of the engine!!!?? How did that happen???, I also noticed that other belt had fallen, maybe the alternator belt, when i heard the sound, I remember the battery light on the instrument panel went on... after i removed the pulley i tried to turn the engine on but it sounded like the timing belt was going to explode, so I turned it off, so I want to ask how the hell did that screw that held the pulley fall apart??
Please help me!!
Please help me!!
My old civic (90) is back into shape, the pulley probably fell because a ring or something like that was missing between the screw and the pulley, so it just fell, no damage to any other engine parts, I took advantage of the problem and also replaced the velocimeter cable and brake pump. Strangely, the car works better than before 
, maybe the alternator belt was a little loose, put my hazards are not working at all, maybe a fuse?, they don´t even light in my instrument panel!
