96 Sable Steering Gear
Just had the pump replaced for the second time in less than two years. Luckily the shop warranted this one. Was leaking again at the pump.
Here's the issue. It just doesnt have that feathery turn it use to have at very low speed. Seems to be about the same on faster turns. Also, hard turning (like in a parking lot at low speed) going nearly lock to lock still produces a whining noise.
We did attempt to bleed air from the system (jack up, wheel turn side to side about 50 times, etc), but the fluid never appears to be "airy". It does seem quite dirty.
Upon return to the shop he is now saying the steering gear is either clogged somewhat or failing.
Thoughts?
