Overboosted Power Steering - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DeepPurple · 09-02-2004, 02:07 PM

Hello folks, instead of pitching insane ideas, I have a problem.

I recently replaced the power steering gearbox that was leaking with a new one (supposedly for our years) from LMC (yeah yeah, I know).

Suddenly the power steering has gone from tolerably overboosted to...absolutely insane. I can tap the wheel with my fingers and it'll spin one full revolution. I'm not expecting rack and pinion here, but this is kinda silly.

For background information it's the LMC gearbox, and a "joined" pump (pump and reservoir don't really seperate) off of a mid to late 70's passenger vehicle.
