Need help with steering problems
The steering on my Ex isn't working like it should. At times it feels loose when cruising then feels tight when straightening back out after a turn... the wander is really bad...
My PS fluid is also turning into a muddy brown goo every 5k... I changed the PS pump this summer with a supposedly good used one...
What should I be looking at/checking for?

Might be time to look into a Red Head.
Until then, have you tried adjusting the steering gear?

When you replaced the pump, were you able to flush out the old fluid?

Here's the steering adjustment thread - takes a while to get through, but worth a try.
