thanks to bad thers no pics of the berings bing replaced but it will help

 

whats taco/box?

 

Did you fill it with ATF or Power Steering Fluid?

'cuz they take ATF

 

powers teering fluid,

 

atf auto trans fluid?

 

Yep - Dexrpn/Mercon Type III

My experience has been that adding PSF results in a quick death of the pump

 

that might explain the red fluid in the gear box when i pulled it apart.i didnt know u could do that. i just asumed that power steering resivor required ps fluid

 

well the gear box leked not the pump, ive replaced the seals on the gear box and now at a stand still with the berings.

 

Common mistake since it says "POWER STEERING FLUID" in big white letters on the lid - but then you get closer and see it says ATF in the black embossed letters.

 

thanks for the info ill use the atf from now on
