power steering fail

[darrenchadwick]

New pump fitted (from breakers) and all running fine. Bottom 6mm hex mounting bolt was a pain to get at until the pump would rock towards the radiator but generally a straightforward job.
Thanks for help from contributors.

Hi All,

I have a problem which I'm wondering is related - I had a broken O/S spring last week which I've had repaired, although now my steering seem hard and lumpy.

Before you all shout "take it back to the garage" I just wondered if it could be a coincidental power steering issue?

Anyone have anything similar?

Did you renew the strut top mount and bearing?

Yes, took it to my local independant dealer who always look after it and have been good so far.

Here's what's weird - took the cap of the Power Steering Reservoir to check if the fluid was low (it wasn't) and now it seems to be OK -I'm not making this up!!

What's that all about??

There is a law appertaining to anything manmade,politely referred to as Murphys Law.Those of us in the trade have another name for it.
