power steering ?

So I changed the PS fluid today and now it howles. I used valvolen +4 ATF like the manul said to (maybe not that brand) but I planed on change it 2 times to flush it good, the second time with Amziol. I ran it down the road to get all the air out but its still howling. any thoughs?

OK:
1)Use your spell check.
2)Why did you change the PS fluid?
3)Is it topped off?
4)Are you sure it said use ATF?
5)You either used the wrong fluid or not enough, if it did not howl before you changed it , and now it does.
6)That seems simple enough to me

1)Called a dictionary (where is)
2)Me too (maintenance)
3)OK
4)You asked the question, I should not have to look it up. (yourself)
5)You changed/did something wrong. Sounds like air in the system still, with not enough fluid. Jack both tires up off the ground. Turn the wheels in both direction, lock to lock over and over again. Fluid level should drop, add some more fluid. (Cheap, correct, it's, that's, I)
6)I did, I was (cranky)
7)

It's on a restricted site, but I will gladly send it by pm. Your idea of raising the front tires is part of the procedure. It just adds a hand vacuum pump into the procedure.

Cool. Thanks for the info.
Sorry to labreck if I come off rude. Spelling is just one of those things that drives me utterly insane if done incorrectly, and has since the 1st grade. No kidding there

We all have bad days. It was a day for me to. I need to get a vacum pump so i can bleed proprly, driving it is the lazy way to bleed out air but the lazy way is never the wright way. And as far as my spelling, I have like some others, have a tuff time typing and i dont write (spell) to often i do need to get better. Ill try, wish me luck

By the way it does not make noize now, ALL THE AIR IS OUT
