Re: Sudden Power Steering Problem
Bump... Could really use some help with this one.
I called Redhead today. They were very nice, but pointed to it not being fully purged yet. Told me to put it up on jackstands (non-running) and keep spinning the steering wheel back and forth between hard left and hard right. Probably did about 100 cycles back and forth, but every time we fire it up and try it, still no power steering. Something isn't right here.
Here's what I see... When you turn the steering full to the passenger side, the fluid level in the pump body will rise and overflow. When you turn the steering full to the driver's side, the fluid doesn't rise. This is what made the folks at Redhead thing it's still full of air. Any thoughts? Could the steering box be bad? Would a power steering filter cause it to have difficulty purging the air?
