Hi All, The power steering on my 91 has become sticky. It turns easily then binds up,then turns easily again. There are no leaks, belt is tight, pump doesnt whine, resevoir is full. I searched and found TK's answer about the steering u joint. It sounds right, but no one else seems to have encountered this according to the search.Has anybody else had this problem and swapped it out. Looks hard to remove. THX Manly

Not so much a binding. It's as if the power steering is working and then not.

Hey Buffalo Bus,
You already have a thread running with the same title and on the same topic.
In order to get the most help and avoid confusion, you should use your other thread and delete this one.
