No power steering after rear engine mount replaced

I took my Honda Civic to the car repair shop to have the rear engine mount replaced. When I picked up my car I have no power steering now. It was perfect when I took it in. There is also one short clunk sound as my engine is starting. What the heck did they do to cause this?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Return it to the shop.
They aren't finished working on it.

They're saying they did nothing to cause it.

I took a great running car in for some simple work, and got back a car with no power steering, and my car now makes a single clunk sound when I start it.

Re: No power steering after rear engine mount replaced

I took it to the Honda dealership. It took them a few minutes to find out the other mechanics had put the wrong tie rod ends on. It's perfect now.
