84 GSL-SE Steering
 

Hi all...everything I have read says that my variable assist Power Steering on my 84 GSL-SE should make steering at low speed (such as backing out of a parking spot, etc) much easier...

In my car, right now, it is like pulling a 100lb weight as I turn the wheel at very low speeds...

I checked the Power Steering fluid and belts...both are OK.

ANy sugegstions on what might be the cause and what I might try to do...

Thanks for the assistance

Its Broke.

power steering pump I would guess...I don't think they were the best pumps in the world....I would have it checked first of course as that is what I think, and you can get a new one from british victoria with the trade in of your core....I am looking at the price right now...it will run you 199.95 with your core....fyi...there # is 1-800 255 0088......good luck.....cjf

That's what I am thinking as well... :(

what is the best way to diagnose the problem? How do you check to see if the PS pump is bad?

if it hard to steer and it has a belt and fluid it is broke. could be the pump, could be the box. but it is probably the pump.
