Power steering
Hey guys, I just got my truck back on the road after 4 months of extensive body work and I'm noticing the power steering is almost none at idle while sitting still. If I gouge the go pedal, it seems fine. The tires are 315s. It's really a PITA to move around and was hoping y'all could give this some thought.

Oh, ten 4 on the X3/X4...lol, I was like WTF! Good call on the tire pressure too. I did all the body work myself, no mechanical damage but the driver's side sheetmetal was eaten slap off my truck by some trees and a sideways skid. Thanks again, I'll do the flush and TP check tomorrow and will check back in on here.

BAM! Fluid flush with mobil 1 syn and it's good as new! I had a small whine in the pump when I started and I heard it disappear. Thanks again Enthusiasts for fixin' my truck! I'm doing brake fluid flush in the morning since I now am a firm believer in fresh fluids.
