Rusty Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 I just had the power steering pump replaced in my 1993 LS400, 147K miles. It was leaking oil, making noise and hard to steer. They flushed the system and added new fluid. I had a solinoid/filter replaced about a year ago. The steering still seems very stiff to me. You almost need 2 hands to make a turn. My questions is, how hard or easy do other LS's steer ? Before I go back to my mechanic to have him recheck things, I would like to understand how other cars handle. I read one post that said they could steer with one finger. Also, are there any other steering components that would cause the hard steering ?
jcrome04 Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 It should be "1 finger" sterring. I'd take it back to the shop where the work was performed.
eatingupblacktop Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 IF your rack is ok then it's probably air in the system. It's a bit of reading but here's the link to a previous thread that might help you out: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...p;hl=foam+strip
