Strut brace test and power steering...... S70 98

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris J on  Sun Jan 21 09:23 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I set up a slalom course in an empty parking lot yesterday to test the ipd strut brace that I installed two weeks ago. After the second hard run the power steering pump started to wine and the steering was heavy. When I went to check the level, (I know, something I should have checked before I got started) the fluid was all foamed up and I could not get a good reading. I let the car sit while I cleaned up and when I drove home the power steering was fine.

I checked the level today and it was halfway between the “c” and “add”. Is this OK?

Do I need to add fluid until it is at “c”?

I am assuming “c” is cold and the “h” is for hot.

I see no evidence of leaks in my system. Is there anything else I should check before I hall it of to the dealer?

Thx for any help.
