Thanks. So do not add any fluid to the rack? It is a new reman rack. |
Back when I first rid of my power steering, that's the loop I did. I just turned the rack back and forth a few times to get as much fluid out as possible, then did that same loop.
years later, after I pulled it apart and made it more of a "real" power steering rack, I saw what I did wrong... you really should loop it on the next set of hose nipples on the rack instead of the pinion.
The little valves on the pinion won't really kill much resistance. When I pulled apart my setup and removed the piston, I just capped everythign else off and added a bunch of grease on everything. The difference was night and day! I highly recommend at least going to rack to do the loop instead of the pinion. If you can, pull it apart and remove the piston.
