Power steering pump valve
« on: July 17, 2012, 08:34:25 »

Hi, I'm wondering if I put my power steering pump valve back correctly.  Steering requires a lot of effort at low rpms.  Maybe the valve is in backwards?

The valve parts sprang out when I pulled the pin on the small round cover.  But I think it goes back this way: first spring, second: valve with nut closest to pin on cover, and then cover with pin towards valve.  Did I get that correct? 

If I have it correct, the problem must be a slipping belt.
