Daniel091 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Might have air in the system. Are there bubbles in the power steerins fluid? Also what kind of fluid does your car take? I know my 91 takes dextron tans fluid for the power steering, not sure about your 97. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landar Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 If you turn the steering wheel hard left or right, do you hear the pump straining at all? If not, you might have a plugged line or air in the system as mentioned by Daniel or possibly a defective pump. Wonder if the rack filter is clear and allowing fluid to pump?
