No assist at low speeds

Post by chuck.z »

Hey there guys, looking for some help with an issue that I'm been stumped with since buying the van.

I don't have power steering assist at very low speeds (less than 5mph), especially when turning while braking. Parallel parking the van is an extreme chore. However, when the van is rolling, the assist works fine without any issues. I've suspected and replaced the PS pump already, flushed out the old fluid, and bled the air by turning lock to lock too many times to remember. But the issue is still present. Any thoughts on where to look? This is on my 96 AWD.

Thanks in advance!
