Feels like no power steering.

But , after driving a while its better, put not totally "I got power steering feel"

Fluids are ok, any thoughts?


If I lose power steering, can I still drive it like a truck? Haha

If I remeber correctly this is how the PS pump failure felt on my 72 Lincoln Continental.
Replacing the PS pump is not alot of work - if it is the pump.
I wouldn't drive a power steering car w/o ppwer steering. But it might work.
