Air in Power Steering

[qayqayt]

How do I get rid of air in the power steering lines?  We had a minor leak fixed at the pump and although they thought the system was okay, occasionally on a sharp turn I get armstrong steering.

Jack up the front and turn it stop to stop a few times.

He means turn it "stop to stop" WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.>>>Dan ( It will purge the air)

This is true for original hyd boost steering. Well described in the manual.

If it is Sheppard all you need do is keep filling the reservoir until the bubbles go away with the engine running.

[Utahclaimjumper]

 You can use the same method with Sheppard to.>>>Dan

[gus]

You can, but it isn't necessary. It works itself out just like auto PS.

I have a lot of experience with this because my Sheppard is obsolete and it leaks a lot:)

Thanks guys.  Sorry I haven't responded as we've been travelling and were off line for a couple of days.  The problem seems to have solved itself.

Brian, how did your engine repair in Calif. go?  Interested in what happened.  Hope to see you somewhere this summer, how about coming to NWBN rally in the Columbia Gorge, Sept. 4-7 ?
