Intermittent Power Steering Problems
So my 1989 F350 Diesel is supposed to have power steering.
On the Highway, I can never tell if it's out or not. Steering effort is easy.
When turning at low speeds or stopped, I can tell.
Sometimes, I can feel that it's working properly, others I know it's completely out and I think I'm going to break the u-joints in the column turning that wheel.
Should I look to the pump or gearbox first? Fluid is full.
The money I've saved in Gym membership will go to paying for
parts.

I would first drain and flush the old oil and put in some new high quality oil. most peple never change the fluid in there P.S. and then they wonder why it gets noisy and or the system quits all together.
