New tires...not scrubbing, but dragging?

[xplodergrl]

Alright so I got my new tires...Firestone Destination AT 265/75/16. I really like them so far. Since they are once size up, I was afraid of scrubbing, but I really don't have an issue with it. I have a different problem. When turning, not even very sharp, just normal, especially in reverse, the tires drag along the ground....I know there is not body scrub at all....what could this be? I was thinking maybe PS pump? Any ideas would be appreciated! I am about to do Add-a-leaf, shackles, and trosion keys, but want to get this cleared up first. Thanks!

Change

Alright so I have figured out it is my ps pump...now my quesiton is where so I go from here? Should I start with a flush then see how it goes? Or should I go ahead and adjust?

Sure it's not air in the P/S system? When changing tires did they turn the wheels with the car not running?

Now that I think about it, they did. They were checking for rubbing and they were turning back and forth several times with each tire without the engine running.

You would think shops that do this every day would know better.
Turning and holding to full lock with the engine running is bad enough.
Knowing they did this, they still released your car without purging it. :thumbdwn:
