Power Steering

I just had a power steering flush and now I notice there air bubbles in the reservoir. I didn't notice them before, but not sure if that is normal. Steering is noticeably more difficult as well. Would air in the system cause both those symptoms?

Yep. Take it back to whoever did the "flush" and get them to finish bleeding the air out of the system.

Is it air or normal

I had my hood up tonight jumping another car and noticed my power steering resevoir looked like the fluid was boiling inside. I dont know if it really was but it was jumping up the sides and looked like waves in the tank. Is this normal or an indicator of air in the system. It does not to seem more difficult to steer or anything. Just not sure if it is normal. Thanks for the help

Ryan
