That is why you are supposed to turn the wheel back and forth just short of lock to lock. If you do that, with the wheels off the ground, it will work just fine.90mustangGT said:There is a TSB on air in ford P/S systems. Just drive it, it will bleed itself. Turning it back and forth rapidly esp. lock to lock tends to make the bubbles just get smaller therefore making the problem worse and taking longer to bleed out.

I have never tried it that way, but it makes sense that it would work. Fortunately for me, I don't have to talk to customers. Service writers do that for me. Although, I would still advise against going to full lock, as this creates cavitation (air) in the pump.90mustangGT said:Yes, usually, but not always. If the way your talking about doesn't do it, then the other way will. Working in a shop, I know that sometimes it doesn't work. I have done that and so many times had to tell the customer "it will go away the more you drive it" which isn't something I like to tell them or what they want to hear. So what I started doing after reading that TSB is just rock the wheel back and forth and back and forth each time a little wider until it is lock to lock each time, that seems to work best, haven't had to tell any customers that in a long time now.
