Is it OK to have air in your Power Steering lines?
Im about to do a FMIC install and it comes with a shortened powersteering lines (least thats what i deduce... stupid jap instructions)
So im curious if the power steering is like the brakes in that they cant have air in them.... If they PS is like the brakes.. how would i go about "burping" the air out of the PS lines?
Thanks a lot!

i guess ill help you anyways.....
jack up the front of the car....take off the cap and turn the wheel fully to the right and then fully to the left. should burp the lines after you do that a couple times. if you have a factory service manual it gives instructions in there...thats where i remember getting the above info from. ( had to change my pump out over the summer)
be a man.....take the PS out...lol
remember how hannah wanted to get outta the car b/c it was too hard to get outta the parking spot for her when i let her drive it on the way down to san antonio???
its like a theft deterrent system you see.....make car quirkier and hard to drive and no one will want to drive it.....lol.

for the record......now that its public.....heh
in bringing the car up to CO i got stuck between 2 18 wheelers on each side, a minivan to the rear, and another 18 wheeler spewing sand all over me from the front. made for some pretty bad chipping......
needless to say i was PISSED!
oh well.....i couldnt do anything about it.....i tried slowing down and the minivan almost rear ended me. by the time i got him to back off the damage was done....
one day when i fall into huge money and do the things my car is crying for ill put a nice mazdaspeed GT-C front end on and some paint.
