[V8] Power steering woes.

[Ed Kellock]

This brings to mind an issue discussed not too long ago regarding an S-car.
In that case, the two lines were swapped when reattached to the rack.

Did this power steering problem occur right after the rack replacement?

Hi my name is Mike.
          I am a long time member here and i havent posted anything in
years.  Sorry for that.  But I need your help.  My beloved V8 developed a
power steering issue some time ago.  At idle, steering is almost
impossible.  There is a chatter of the drive belt slipping and the steering
becomes super stiff in unison with the chatter.  Bring up the revs to
2500-3000 rpm and steering behaves normal.
     I replaced ALL the power steering lines 8 years ago.  I repalced the
pump in the last 2 years, as well as the "bomb".  Just recently, I replaced
the steering rack. It was leaking from every seal anyway.  I filled the
system and it still had the same "chatter".  My last attempt at fixing this
was pulling the resevior and cleaning it.  I even bore scoped it to look for
build up. None found.  Same problem after reassembly.  Im at the end of my
rope.  If somebody has seen this happen please tell me what to do.
 
Thank You
