FC Power Steering - Scott Forman - 09-10-2006 04:50
I have read many comments about the FC power steering pump being
inefficient. Mine appears to be on its last legs. What's the word on
a replacement? Should I get the same pump, or is there an upgrade?

One place to check with is Babs Steering. Talk with their technical
guys. http://www.babsteering.com/

Check the temperature of your fluid before acting. I found mine to be running
at 228
degrees. This is too hot and will reduce the life of the components. I used a
non-contact
thermometer. Standard temperature for PS systems is 150 degrees. So, if yours
is
running hot, rerouting the hoses or adding a cooler would be an upgrade. Also
synthetic
PS fluids can handle the higher temperatures better.
I think relocating the reservoir might be useful but I have not found an
adequate place to
relocate it apart from in place of the AC compressor.
