Hey guys been a while since I've had any problems but one came up last night. I was turning around on this road and i turned left and heard a little pop and then the whole way back to school my steering was stiff like i had no power steering. Fluid is good and there is no leaks could it be the intermediate shaft u joints or something? I live with two kids going for mechanics so were gonna take a look at it a little deeper later but I'm really not sure what it is.

 

Sounds like you need a new PS pump. I did the same thing doing donuts in 4wd. (i know stupid)

 

well it seems to have fixed itself...i took it for a drive today and after pulling out of the parking lot with it being stiff it just went back to normal and has been fine ever since so i really don't know whats up with it

 

The Chrysler power steering pumps are notoriously junk. Have someone watch your front tires as you turn your truck on, most likely they'll do a little shift to one direction about a 1/4-1/8 inch. Mine was doing that, its the internal valve system. I've never taken one apart but from what I've experienced and heard they are junk.

 

What about the lower steering shaft u-joint. Those go bad on these.

 

yeah i was looking into that but its perfectly fine now so i guess ill just wait till something completely breaks on it lol
