Hi,


small issue with the power steering on the car, first thing in the morning there seems to be no assistance with right hand turns, left is fine.



After a few corners its back to normal but its a real struggle until it comes good.



Seals by any chance? or worse?



Any ideas appreciated.

That would be a good answer to your problem, Peter. Just as a precaution does the fluid smell burnt and is it's colour very dark? If so then it would probably be quicker to fit a refurbished steering rack and replace the fluid.

Cheers, Peter.

Thanks for the replies, the fluid looks feels and smells like new and there are no leaks. Was sort of expecting a leak somewhere if the seals are not doing their job or are they just internal?
