So I've got a new gearbox and fittings. Power steering is not working correctly. The power steering pump doesn't make any weird noises or anything. I'm just curious if it could have failed and I can't tell. Is there an easy way to test the power steering pump? Pull of the high side from the gearbox and crank it a little?
