How does power steering work on a 1994 LS 400?
I have a 1994 LS 400. I have replaced the Power steering pump, Rack and Pinion, Fluid, Cleaned the Solenoid Filter, and hoses. The steering works flawlessly at speed.. but at a dead stop, at idle (600Rpms) it just doesn’t. It is like it has zero power steering aid. Very hard to turn the wheels.
