That didn't fix the problem. I'm thinking I should maybe flush the system myself again? The steering is not making any grinding or skipping noises. How would I know if the problem is the pump and/or the steering rack? I've have done a search on this website, and i'm still not sure what my steering problem is. Power steering problems do seem common for the Ti.  Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken | If it is the rack........I have one for sale $100 shipped in the US. Let me know. __________________
