'86 900s
had a leaky pinion shaft seal on what i think was the original rack, but otherwise the ps worked fine. after searching the board, learned that townsend suggested that his shop uses "mavel" rebuilds. got a mavel, installed it, but only had ps to one side. called mavel, and got an apology; the mavel tech said if ps only worked to one side, then the pinion valve was bad and the rack needed to be swapped out. so, installed another mavel rebuild and it worked ok for 50 miles or so. now i do not have any ps to either side (again).
i flushed the system both times w/ 6 qts of fluid- no unusual metal or discharge was found. i worked the air out by rotating the wheel side to side several times.
the pump sounds fine, but unsure about pressure. is there a way to check pressure, and what should it be?
any other ideas?
thank you
