POWER STEERING PROBLEM ,'91 XL4x4
I have a growling noise when I turn the steering wheel. A few weeks ago the power steering kept going out at low speeds but was ok at normal speed,that would happen on an intermittent basis then it was fine for 2 weeks. Then the noise started, there is no problems with the steering itself except for the noise and a slight steering wheel vibration, the fluid is brown, thin and foamy and splatters when the wheel is turned. I tried replacing fluid, cleaning the valve out and bleeding the line but none of this worked so now I have to assume it's the pump. I have purchased a new pump and I just want to be assured that this is the problem and if it is, what time frame for installation am I to expect? Is there anyone out there that can give me some info?
