Power Steering issues, 1998 Ranger - 5/11/2008 7:22:16 AM    wmlperry72   Posts: 2 Score: 0 Joined: 5/11/2008 Status: offline Hi, I have a 98 Ford Ranger 2wd. 2.5 4cyl. We have replaced the Pump, Rack, Hoses, Belt, Tensoner, flushed the system, filter, outer tierods, shocks. We still have the ford PS wine, plus at low RPM the wheel is hard to move. Rev the engine up and the steering works. Please help with any suggestions. Is the pump defective? Is the idle too low? The pulley too large? Open for all suggestions. Is there any TSB's or material addressing these issues. Thanks, Bill < Message edited by wmlperry72 -- 5/11/2008 7:35:56 AM > Post #: 1
