Anyone have power steering pump issues post lift? I have a leak somewhere but I can not pin point were yet at first I thought it was my oil pressure sensor. After I looked I think it is power steering fluid. Just wondering if anyone had similar issues. Thanks LOST is great.

Where the hoses loop out of my pump and go up to the cooler on the rad support the 2 hoses rubbed together and made pin holes, also around the hard line fittings into the rack it leaks a little around those as well corrosion caused this, I just put in some Lucas stop leak and a few days later it was fine.

ThunderbirdJunkie's is also leaking at the cooler lines.

It will get fixed.

Eventually...

i had my lower line from the pump replaced about a year ago, and just before winter hit it came loose and fell off, luckily i was only 5 minutes form home as i didnt burn my pump up.

I noticed the lines rubbing together awhile back and put some wire loom around them. Still look good as new.

Yeah I put wire loom on mine too, Plus wrapped them tight with Electric tape before the loom went on, until I can afford to replace them......

I'm on my third high pressure power steering hose, keep an eye on it!

mine doesn't leak, but it's a little noisy

i can tell it's a little noisy now that I replaced my belt tensioner :lol:

before the tensioner was drowning out the PS noise

i sucked out some of the PS fluid and refilled it with good fluid, it quieted down a little, I plan to repeat this a few more times as the fluid cycles through the system over time since it doesn't take much fluid to do it since I'm just siphoning whats in the resovior

power steering leak?
