another power steering issue
Lately its been harder and harder to turn my steering wheel. I checked the fluid, its good. Without the truck moving, and no foot on the brakes, its almost impossible to get it to turn. Put your foot on the brake, and the steering wheel wont move much. My truck has 165k on it, and I was wondering how I can test the output pressure of the pump. Could this pump be starting to go south?
Thanks.
Thanks.
