No problems here. Re: power steering [Re: Adam F] #958989 08/21/09 03:50 PM Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 304 Logan, UT Perpetrator Mudrunner Quote Best way is to disconnect the return line, stick it in a 5 gallon bucket, run the truck, and keep pouring new fluid in the resivour until it runs clean in the bucket. You don't even have to run the engine to flush it. Instead, just jack up the front end and as you cycle the steering from lock to lock it pumps the fluid through the system. I found this way easier, as it was hard for me to keep up with the rate at which the fluid came out with the engine running and risking the pump running dry. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> 1997 T 100 4X4 ExtraCab 5 speed, White Worthless factory bedliner 265/75/16 Firestone Destination A/Ts Aisin Manual Hubs 90k miles Re: power steering [Re: ErikB] #958990 08/21/09 05:27 PM Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 4,160 Auburn, NorCal ErikB Toyota Moderator Quote There is also a way to adjust the play on the input shaft, but on these late model boxes it requires complete disassembly. I finally just got around to doing this on my truck. It got rid of the dead/loose spot in the steering that has been annoying me for quite some time now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> The input shaft was where my play was, not the top nut adjustment on the sector shaft which I've adjusted before. It only needed about 1/8 of a turn, but it made a noticeable difference.
