Hi all,
Question. I was testing my power steering. And I dont have assist at idle. Only if I rev it a little bit my assist starts working.
I've got a federal pump with a 7 inch pulley.
I took it apart and all the parts appeared to be in great condition. I did replace orings and seals
I also shimmed the internal valve to drop maximum pressure for less total assist. But this shouldn't matter when the engine is idling.
Is it normal that you dont have assist on idle? Seems weird to me.
Any ideas what it could be?
I saw someone mentioning new federal pumps at napa. But if i visit the website it says that the part is not available
