power steering

Hi guys, I have a 2006 TJ Sport with the 4.0 and 6speed. I also have the stock steering box and setup. I am utilizing the ZJ steering upgrade as well. My power steering gear box has started to leak and I want to look into options for replacement. It leaks not enough to make a puddle but enough...

Hey fellas, anyone in cold weather have problems with swepco 715 gelling with pump dry starts. Im in new england and its been on average 20 to 30 degrees F lately. Id like to rule out fluid being my issue with a newly installed PSC pump and gear box. Its been screaming every morning, I put my...

I recently changed the fluid in the Dana 30 front differential and just tried using 4hi for the first time since the change. There was a whining noise like you might expect to hear from power steering when accelerating but not at idle. I don't remember there being any extra noise like that when...

My power steering seems to have stopped working this morning (steering is VERY tough when stationary - feels normal while moving). No power steering fluid leaking, I would have noticed a spot in my driveway. I checked the power steering fluid - Good. Power steering pulley is spinning with the...

Hello to the forum from a new guy! 2000 TJ 2.5L 5sp My power steering pressure switch diaphragms keep failing and leaking fluid through the plug connection, I'm on my 4th in two years, two within the past week! I replaced the steering gear box about a month ago with NAPA reman Part #: NSP...

The other day my power steering pump blew up sending fluid everywhere, on the alternator, on the hood, on the intake. I cleaned it up pretty good but there is still a little bit on the manifold that i cant get off completely and was wondering if it would be safe to run the engine and let it burn...

I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler 4.0 and recently whenever I turn at slow speeds, under 10 mph, the steering wheel pulsates /jerks until the wheel is straight. I checked the power steering fluid level and its a little low, about a half inch from the "add" line on the dipstick when cold. Any Ideas...

2004 jeep wrangler unlimited (LJ) I when wheeling today and got caught in so pretty wet mud, was dug in to the doors, but we were able to winch her out. Afterwards the power steering seemed rough and I can't turn the wheels very far. There is also an audible thunk when I turn a little left of...

Does anyone have any tips for diagnosing/locating power steering leaks? I’ve recently noticed the hose is all wet. The gear box and pitman arm are dry as far as I can tell. Also worth mentioning I tried some stop leak to no avail and I haven’t had to really top it off at all too much. Perhaps...

My Girlfriend and I just got a 2000 Jeep Wrangler 4 Cyl. I have’t seen it yet and havn’t had anything to go on besides pictures as of yet but I was hoping someone may have had experience with this problem already. There is a leak coming from the drivers side in front of the front tire and it...

New ro the forum. First of all hi and glad to be here. I built a 2002 tj wrangler X turned out great, swapped out the stock power steering for a durango power steering box and now when crawling aired down in low gear the power steering is almost completely lost, anyone else experience this? Tha...

Edit for anyone who has this problem in the future: I went out to my Jeep, turned it on, put my arm through the window and turned the steering back and forth enough to stress the system just a bit, until I could tell the RPM's kicked up. Sure enough, a little drop of fluid came out around the...

For another alternative to the standard steering box, check out the Dodge Durango Steering Gear Retrofit FAQ. A few days ago, I received an e-mail with a couple pics from MikeW, a very good friend of mine who regularly participates in wrenchin' projects with me (sometimes on his stuff...
