Hello. New here! From Norway.

When I bought my Newport my power steering pump was leaking oil, it was squeaking, and leaking all around. The power steering was somewhat present when driving it home, but sometimes the steering wheel was hard and Suddenly become easy.

I took apart the pump, changed the gaskets and got a new V belt... I saw some kind of wear on the rotor making the pressure. Like it had ran some time without oil.

I put it together and now measure little to no pressure. What can the issue be? Is there some adjustments? Please look at photos.

Anyone help?

Hi wansers2,

Contact Steer and Gear in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio USA. They are the gold standard with regards to all things power steering related, especially the old 60s Detroit stuff. HOME | steerandgear
 
I sent three pumps to Steer and Gear to be fixed and none of them worked. Had to go with FirmFeel to get a working pump back.
 
Good Morning
I had good luck with Steer & Gear. Reasonable price and fast turn-around.
