Hi,

I lost power steering assist last week, and after reading a couple of threads regarding this matter i decided to change the ps pump. After bleeding the system, i noticed that it is still hard to turn when the truck is on idle and not moving. But while cruising the power steering is working fine. There seem no visual leak and the oil level is fine. Should i check/do anything else?

Thanks in advance,

hard to move as in you need both hands to move the wheel??

 

Both hands with a lot of effort. It is dangerous while negotiating slow turns.
