Steering Woes 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Fred Sanford on  Tue Apr 8 08:00 CST 2003 [RELATED]


Please help!
The steering in my brick is getting worse, but I don't know if it's the rack going bad or the power steering pump not working.

The symptoms:
Groaning noise while driving (not turning), noise has since ceased.
Occassional groaning noise while turning slowly (almost always when parking).
Stiff steering off of a cold start (almost always occurs).
Stiff steering in cold weather.
Steering is rarely stiff when outside temperature is above 50 degrees, and power steering seems terrific when above 70 degrees.

Any thoughts?
