Re: Power stering stiff

Remove the high pressure line and stick it in a bucket. Start it up it should BLAST fluid out. Shut down quick as to not run it out of fluid.<br />If it does not blast out then you have either a clogged hi pressure line or a bad pump. If it does blast out, you have either a clogged return line or a problem with the mechanical parts such as steering cable or hydraulic ram, or possibly in the drive itself.
