Power Steering Problems
Hello
I bought a 92 LS 400 with what i was told needing a power steering pump. Well i put it on and it made no difference its still super hard to steer and the new pump whines like the old one ? I flushed the new one and have been trying to get what i think is air out but to no avail . I even cleaned the screen off the sillinoid it was full but still made no difference . I have no leaks anywhere . any Ideas??
Thanks

I kindda have the same problem with my 99LS , it gets hard at times and there is no leak , but I noticed the fluid a bit burned ... Its a lexus thing with the steering wheel stiffness , the only way to make sure everything is fixed is to change the Rack&Pinion and the pump ...

LS400's don't have steering dampers, so don't worry about that.
And unfortunately I am in the Denver area, so I wont be able to help you out in person.
I will be pulling my rack in order to do the engine mounts pretty shortly here, i will let you know how it goes.
