Power Steering troubleshooting help? Please
Hey all! Just picked up an 87 Caprice 4dr sedan with the 307ci Olds. Was an interesting drive home, when the crack/waterpump/fan/power steering belt snapped. Began overheating and drained the battery because the alternator belt runs off the water pump pulley :(
Needless to say, she is home. New belts, new water pump, new alternator, new thermostat - done. Running like a champ now :)
Except, the power steering doesn't work at all. Fluid is at full level. It is not rack and pinion, but I am not sure what it's steering is called. All the components were changed and look brand new - tie rods, bushings, and the little pitman? arms...
Advise on how to troubleshoot the power steering system in this car? I don't even know where to start :( PS. You guys rock!
