Thank you all.

I have a 1973 F350 4x4. I have been having problems with the power steering. I recently purchase a 26' toy hauler and have been pulling it with my truck. At first it seemed that the steering was loose. I was all over the road. It appeared to be the power steering control valve. After looking for all over the country, I finally found a place in Virginia that rebuilds them and purchased it from them. Since I replaced that, by steering is alot better, but now, I seem to be blowing powersteering pumps. I have gone thru 4 in 4 months. I just replaced one last week and the steering was great, but within 200 miles it is gone again. What is going on? This time the pump is not making any noise, and works sometimes, but not all the time. Help!!!!!!

Welcome to the site

Maybe we can get a moderator to change the title to "Power Steering Problems"


There is a thread a few pages back that deals with power steering valve and what it take to correct the problem.

This one.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=471764

The user even put up pics in his gallery to help others with this problem.

Hi, I have a 1985 Ford Bronco II, it has 179,000 miles on it and it's a V6. My problem is all of a sudden my power steering fluid just started leaking all out. The cap that you replace on the power steering tank also blows after the thing become pressurzed, but only when I turn the wheel and clue on what's causing
