Hi,
I have converted the 80 from 1FZ-FE to 1HD-FTE engine, seems that the power steering pump is on its way out as when I try to move the wheel at low speed or standing it makes a lot of noises. There seem also a lot of bubbles in the reservoir itself. I have tried to take the air out of the system by having the steering wheel turning left and right but it doesn't seem to be helping.
The main issue which I have is that the turning radius is small, I can turn the wheel one and a half turn to the left and right. The steering box was rebuilt with the new gaskets and worm gear valve body. Can this be caused by not a proper rebuild of the steering box? I have also checked that the tire rod is not binding.
