Happy Thanksgiving Brickboard!
If only there was a Dr.House of Volvos... Anyways here are is my 97' S90s symptoms.
- Snapping sound in steering when turning in one direction then quickly moving back in another direction.
- Stiffness in the ends of the steering stops.
- General Stiffness
- Does not want to return to center after turning.
- When front end jacked up, snapping sound goes away
- When front end jacked up and car not running, stiffness at ends remain.
- When started after exercising wheel while off, pump gives horrible whine
- Fluid has overflown from reservoir cap 3/4 cup looks like
- Fluid is foamy
- Even though it overflowed the cap is vacuum sucked tight on the reservoir.
- When cap is removed the whine instantly goes away.
- Whine from pump will only return when i exercise the wheel when the car is off and then turn it back on again.
- No fluid leaks anywhere else on system
Had rebuilt power steering rack installed and installed a rebuilt pump myself. All this was done because the original parts had the lone symptom of tightness when turning left. Now I am worse off. Why it is spewing oil atf fluid is beyond me. Of course it wont due that as long as i dont try to turn the wheel when its off. Any help would be great.
