I've noticed something happening more and more, lately on my 78 Newport.
This only happnes when I am going slow (parking lot maneuvering speed) and
attempting to turn the wheel to the right. It's like I have no power
steering at all. Sometimes it does it for a few seconds and then kicks in
and returns to full power steering. Sometimes it doesn't and I have to
man-handle the wheel to make the turn. Again, it has only ever happened
when the engine is at idle and I am turning the wheel from straight ahead,
to the right. It almost feels like there is a sticky valve or something.
The fluid level is good and I don't see any huge leaks (just the usual Mopar
steering box seepage) Can anyone lend any wisdom here? Thanks.
