PS Groaning
 

Power steering has been losing fluid and I haven't figured out where yet. Then last time after topping it off, it is still groaning even with the fluid full, so I think its been damaged from being driven while under low fluid.


I'm thinking maybe I'll drain the system, and then refill with some synthetic ATF, maybe that will stretch the PS a lil further. What you guys think?

haha, mine groans big time. it sounds like hugh heffner having sex.

^ nice comparison ^

LOL :lol:

could be leaking from the rack if you cant find the leak

i recomend draining and refilling and throwing some PS conditioner/sealer in there use a lil more that recomended..worked for mine.

PS conditioner? Haven't heard of that before.... any specific brand or product?

Try Lucas, they make stuff for the oil and power steering. I would never use the stuff for the oil though, my Cutlass hated that stuff. Power steering stuff might be better.

Yeah, I used to use that in my camaro. But I thought it was just stop leak, didn't know it was 'conditioner'. lol

There are other products out there. I think "Stop Leak" is actually a brand name, and they do make something for your power steering. Just go to a parts store and start looking at the stuff they have on the shelves. Remember - you get what you pay for.

LOL....uugghh ughhh uuuuughhhOOOOO..lol

=D but yeah, let me know how you remidy it. i need to help mine out...

How do you drian it?

disconnect one of the lines at the bottom of the rack, it doesn't get all the fluid but its the lowest point in the system

If that don't work at least you can get your money back from Lucas.

i had the exact same problem, turned out i had forgotten about the half dead prostitue in my trunk. she was really noisy for like a week. glad i finally found her.

Did you use Lucas to shut her up?

actually yes. lubed her up, duct taped the mouth, put her back in the closet, she was good to go again in no time.

CactusWill it worked with a half dead prostitute, its gotta work for your power steering.

in my defense she was hald head when i found her.
