Thank you!
I will test / replace the FPRreg if the non of the above resolves my issues.
I did have a question about power steering - The power steering belt is currently off because (so Im driving it with no PS, pain in the ass).
The belt is off because when its on, PS fluid is heavily leakiing. Its not coming from the PS pump - it seems to drip from the BOTTOM of the power steering gearbox.
I noticed there is a seal at the bottom of the PS gearbox, which then connects to the "pitman arm". It seems to be leaking at this seal and dripping all over the pitman arm.
Would the easiest way to stop this leak to unscrew the big bolt at the bottom of the pitman arm and remove the arm, so I can access the seal at the bottom of the steering gearbox?
RockAuto has this gearbox rebuild kit which seams to include that big seal. I dont want to remove the entire gearbox, maybe just try changing out the seal at the bottom while its still in the car.
You think it is possible to do it this simple way? Or should I remove the entire gearbox and attempt rebulding the whole thing using all the parts in the rebuild kit?
