anyone know how to get air out og the ps pump????? i tried everything, but i still have air in it. when i start my car, the ps pump fluid starts to foam up with small bubbles. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

i may be wrong, but i think you need to take the cap off and fill it up, then start the car, and turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times and that should remove the air. anyone else?

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...withstupid.gif that is correct. the power steering has self-bleeding .So you just drain , fill her up , on the ignition go lock to lock on the steering wheel a couple of time . it will bleed itself. Remember cap off while bleeding , to vent out the air .

does the pump make any noise? like a moaning or sqealing sound? if so there is alot of air trapped. Sometimes it's best to let the car run for 10-20 min and let the pump do all the work
