Power steering pump Posted by Tursaab [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Well thanks for the tip on the alternator! My saab now runs! Second part of the trouble i have is regarding the power steering pump.
I have a 1988 saab 900 spg.
I filled the power steering reservoir today, started the car and let it run a sec, turned it off, filled reservoir, lifted the car and turned the wheel 4-5 times from stop to stop (car was not running), dropped the car and ran it 4-5 more times stop to stop (while running). and repeated the process.
There is swirling in the resi so i assume the pump is working. when i turned the car off, fluid escaped from the pin hole on the reservoir cap and the fluid was foamy. So...my question is, is it possible to have to continually repeat these steps for a few hours or should this clear up immediately? Is this a good indication my pump is dead? What i did notice was a swishing type sound in the middle of the stop to stop turn of the wheel while car was lifted, swishy gurgle...if that helps. Thanks all!
