Quick question about power steering force
N62. 148k.
The pump is not noisy and I recently replaced the reservoir and hoses due to leakage. I used a synthetic ATF and have changed the fluid only once since the replacement. Fluid is still a bit darker than new fluid. No problem with steering before replacement, just got rid of the leak and the reservoir was original.
Steering got really heavy while turning. Even while driving at speed. It feels like it "seats itself" at center when turning back from changing lanes, etc.
Do I just have some old fluid that needs flushed out or can/do the pumps go bad without groaning? This will be the first p/s pump I would ever had to replace after owning many bimmers. But, this is my first V8.
Thoughts?
