reman power steering pump issue

[Dead Parrot]

My Autozone reman is still working fine after 20 or so years. Standard 'sample size of 1 disclaimer'.

If you managed to get some fluid on the pulley or belt, it might be slipping a bit at slow engine speeds. That can cause an odd feel that will go away at higher speeds. Not being tight enough can cause the same thing.

Its plenty tight but that makes sense about fluid on the pulley. My old pump was leaking from the shaft and the belts and the other pulleys did get fluid on them. I guess the belts are due for replacement anyway so Ill try that and clean the pulleys and see what happens.
