Jumped in and headed home, the steering was almost back to normal for the first tenth of a mile or so. Then it stiffened up pretty good for another half, then backed off to manageable. Git home and removed all the retun lines, blew them out with compressed air, and topped off with more ATF. Did the induvidual ujoint check: they look good, no play, and no stiff spots. Did the air bleed procedure: definitely stiffer from center to rt lock than center to left. Test drove: better, but nothing like it was. Gonna do a thorough flush with ATF tomorrow. I mixed some ATF with the stop-leak pwr steering fluid in a cup to see if there was any troble. Nothing noticeable. I think the viscosity difference may be the issue here. With the motor running and the cap off, I can see good circulation in the reservoir.
