lexfourcam Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 i've noticed after i've driven my car for a while the steering isn't as smooth and it starts to groan, and i've checked the ps fluid in the resevoir and there was bubbles all over the dipstick, hasn't leaked any ps fluid either, i was thinking it could be a hose...any ideas?

etex Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Sounds like you have air in the system. Bleed the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexfourcam Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 I've bled brakes on many systems bikes, cars, etc, but where is the valve to release the air in the power steering system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexfourcam Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks for the link, going to change my oil soon so i may as well flush the power steering while i'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
