Title: Steering
Post by: cleggy on June 23, 2010, 09:25:09 PM

Hi guys , Ive got a problem with my PAS !! The fault is that I have to rev the jeep to get the power steering to kick in when off-roading > Anyone else know of this problem or the solution ??? Which would be the best way to beef up the power steering as im running on 36" tyres ???Cheers Cleggy  :jump_125:

if its a new problem i would think the pump is shot might be worth upgrading to an agr pump

Might also be the oil overheating. I fitted a cooler to my XJ to stop it happening.

Syphon the fluid out it may be old and contaminated and if its coffee coloured it is..... and put new fluid in.
If not try a 4" pulley from PSC available for about $50 from Quadratec .....being smaller will give the pump more power at tick over ....ie off road
You will also need a different belt 70" apparently.
