p/s solenoid screen cleaned !!
hey all,
after replacing p/s pump and air valve a yr ago, the pump is leaking again so i got around to doing what i should have then-- cleaning the solenoid screen. 92 w/ 125k. sure enough, it was clogged w/ black very little chunks. it had been off at some point b/c of scar marks on the thin nut. anyway, it NOTICABLY made the steering easy/lighter. can't believe difference- just liek others have said.
i flushed system FIRST...
hopefully, this will ease the pressure building up, thus easing the pump leakage.
fyi...
