since i did my H22 swap in my CL a year or so ago, ive had no power steering and thhe main line unlooped from the rack the same amount of time. knowing in my head i have to eventually loop, just having trouble figuring not the best method to do it, i guess the steering rack eventually dryed out.

so today i tediously poured p/s fluid into the hose through the fitting that bolted to what would be a p/s pump. i used 3/4 of a bottle before i decided to stop.

thinking that putting in the fluid would lubricate the rack again and stop making squeaking and grinding noises on left turns, turns out it didnt, and is doing the same thing.

a. do i need to try and put more fluid in?
b. or is the rack completly seized? if its seized i can easily buy a new and loop that? it would be a waste of time to reloop a seized rack

 

well the guy I bought my lude off of eliminated power steering and didn't seal the system or "re-loop" anything and my rack went out im pretty sure..i am looking for a thread on how to replace it because I finally got my rack today but make sure you seal your system man..it probobly dried out like mine did but my steering eventually went completely out and I am able to turn the wheel to the left or right as many turns as I want if you get what I'm sayin..i dno what your symptoms are?
