[QUOTE="agdaniels, post: 1436357, member: 5384"] Recently purchased a '14 and the steering hasn't been right since I got it. Figured the steering pump was going because the fluid was milky and stunk, and it was tough to turn. Mix in some grittiness and I figured it was time. Pump and fluid changed, no more grittiness, but still hard to turn and slow to return to center as if the steering shaft is bound up. Happens driving or sitting still. Sitting still the pump is working real hard to turn, even makes the RPMs (and gas gauge) dip. I figured I would grease up the intermediate steering shaft and see if that helps, and get an alignment to check caster. But does anyone else have any experience with this? Don't want to burn up my new pump from whatever is causing all that tension in the steering. Appreciate any thoughts, hate to throw money at a problem on the wrong parts [/QUOTE]
