Need advice on power steering issue.
« on: December 17, 2010, 03:55:38 PM »
Here is the scoop. 1996 X90 power steering box was leaking a little around the adjusting screw on top when I bought it a a month or so ago. I put some Lucas fix in it and the leak slowed to almost nothing in a few days. Weather turning cold now in PA and steering is becoming stiff until it warms up. Now it has belched out some fluid from the reservoir a few times. Should I be looking at replacing or rebuilding the gearbox or is this a sign of a different problem?

sounds like too much Lucas, you might want to
drain the system and refill with new fluid, synthetic ATF from
Royal Purple should work well
