Over the past few months I've noticed the power steering become irratic, sometime easy sometimes heavy but definitely jerky. I read a recent thread advising a complete swap of fluid in the system which I have done. There is improvement but this is only after driving for more than 20 minutes. I thought this could be due to air so bled the system again but no change. I have checke the belt tension and that is okay. One thing I noticed was the fluid in the resovoir took a long time to stabilise when topping up also bubbles appearing in the resovoir. There are no obvious leaks so I'm at a loss as to which part of the system is a fault.
Thought there may have been issues with the swivel joints but they move freely and are well lubricated.
Where should I be looking to ID this fault, pump or steering box?
