intermittent power steering
Hi,
Iv's got a 52 wrx blobeye and the steering keeps going between normal/smooth to heavy and lumpy.
Checked the power fluid and it was a bit low so fill up but still the same. Would this need bleeding or is it likely the pump is on the way out?
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Well I tried the bleeding and it seemed to wrok for a bit then went back to lumpy.
I think I'll pick up a new belt and try that and also a fluid change. Where do I drain the fluid from on these?

power steering issues
Hi, my 02 bugeye has just started doing the same as you describe, just wondered if you had managed to solve the problem. I recently had a full 4 wheel allignment and camber done and the car was fine after that, then a few days later the same symptoms as you say started. Any advice is welcomed.

I changed out my powersteering fluid as it was very dark and looked a lot thicker than it should.
Made a massive difference but still a little heavier than I think it should be but not lumpy now. Will try soaking the steering joints tonight to see if that makes any difference hopefull it will as looking to sell it shortly
