Any ideas? Bad pump (again)? pwr steering rack (hope not!)? Anybody have luck with the P.S. fluid addins/restorers..ie. Lucas?
Help appreciated... E Roth
Sounds more like a bad rack than a pump problem. If the power steering fluid looks dirty you might want to try flushing the sytem first.
The P.S. was flushed/ replaced with new "generic brand" fluid when the pump was changed. Is it worth flushing again; and then refilling with Chrysler ATF+4 tranny fluid (I read that when searching, is that really ok to use?) or Lucas P.S. fluid? Or just go ahead with the rack?
Thanks!
could it be just the belt needs adjustment??
i would'nt jump to replacing rack yet have u takin the belt off to see if the pulley turns freely & even before that i would check tension of fan belt.if u put new belt on when u change pump they normaly seat in causing belt to losen up.

All good suggestions - will check belt etc. first
p.s. what's the verdict on using ATF+4 tranny fluid for power steering on a 96 Voyager - Yes / No ??
i would say ok to use but honestly i'm not really sure. might want to do some checking around on it. Good Luck & im hoping on the lose belt !!
