Power steering failure in chevrolet suburban?

[JordanM]

I was drifting in the snow and the car was doing fine. i did one more donut and when i was about to turn left onto a street the steering wheel was incredibaly hard to turn. i didnt hear any weird sounds the wheels just stopped turning. what are the possible problemss with the car?

I would think that you pushed too much snow up under the vehicle. It packed in and around the pulleys and belt, and the belt jumped off the pulleys. This will also disable the charging system and run the battery down, and the engine could overheat if the water pump is belt driven. I have an idea. Take care of the machines you want to take care of you.
