OK so thursday I had my gear box replaced, sweet, no more leaking and less road wandering...
Today i replaced my power steering pump as the old one was leaking everywhere. Even though it was smooth and worked fine. I just had to put in fluid every single day. I finally changed it outand at first everything was fine. after about the first 1/4 mile i noticed as i decelerate it gets very firm. almost as if there is no power steering. Hard to do turn at low speeds or turn the wheel when just sitting in park. So i checked to see if maybe the pump isnt working. I disconnected the return hose, turned on the car and it does work!!! Shot out almost 1/8th of a quart in about a second!! there is not lag in the belt either!!!
why the hard steering???
Think some Lucas will smooth her out again?
