View Full Version : Power Steering Pump
I have been noticing that my power steering on my 66 GTO works better at higher rpms. At idle it feels like it isn't working at all. I have checked the belt and fluid ,it is all like it should be.I am thinking that the pump is going out. Has any one else had this problem? Any info would help. Thanks

hozy, I installed power steering on our 67 Tempest and had the same problem. It would feel jerky when it was at low RPM and even more at low RPM while backing up. Also couldn't stop the belt from screaming when we nailed it. Tried everything we could think of with no success, so took it off. This was on all NEW pump and related parts. Wish I could be of more help. Dennis B

what about putting a smaller pulley on the pump? this would increase the shaft speed and pressure. mike
I guess it would be worth a try. I just think that the pump might be going out. But I would hate to get a new one and it do the same thing.
