Has any one had problems with their power steering going out?<br>I think mine is slowly getting less and less of a power assist. What could be going? The pump? Or is it just my imagination? Cunfused in NC. :'(

 

Gentlemen -<br><br>My '01 is doing the same thing. It is particulary stiff when cold. Its been that way for 50,000 miles now, so I'm just waiting for it to quit. Once warm, it is fine. It is my understanding that this is a problem area, much like the lift pumps. I'd like to hear from others who have experienced the same problem.

 

mine has 66k on it and it stiffens up too, especially when i am parking it really stiffens..its a mopar thing and common from what i understand.

 

thanks, I was hoping my truck was not alone. Mine has begun to feel hard to steer while cruising down the highway at the speed limit. Anybody else having problems? Do I need to replace the pump?

 

Probably a dumb question but have any of you experiencing hard steering checked your belt tensions?

 

I have Royal Purple MAX-EZ power steering fluid in mine and I have no issues with it at all. Feels kinda' loose actually... ;D<br><br><br>Tony

 

Every now and then I have mine act liek the PS isn't working. Kind of weird because I move the truck a little and it's back, and OK.<br><br>Where do you get that Royal Purple stuff Tony? I have never seen it around here.<br><br>Chris

 

I ordered it online:<br><br>Oil Town USA<br><br>
