steering still stuck
#13
so if its just pushing out a small stream its bad? or should it be shooting out with some pretty good force?

(And again - was it acting this way before you replaced the steering box?)

"so when you jack up the front everything moves easily and when you lower it down it binds?"
I think the jury is still out on whether or not anything is binding; I just don't think the pump has enough *** to move the wheels when they're on the ground.

It's more about the pressure it puts out when it's called on to do so; sure, it has to flow x amount of fluid per x amount of time, but when you open the high pressure side the pump can't really build up any pressure, so a bad one might seem to flow as much as a good one. That's why you need to test it with a gauge that can offer resistance.

thats what im thinking but ive driven vehicles without power steering and once youre going about 45 or so its easy to steer. however with mine it doesnt matter how fast im moving its the same all the time. its equaly as hard to turn at a stand still as it is moving. thats whats confusing me.

From my experience, vehicles with power steering that have lost the "power" part are ten times harder to turn than vehicles with manual steering, whether you're going 5 MPH or 50.
And at the risk of being annoying: was it acting this way before you replaced the steering box?
(And is the belt on?)
