The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hello, just got my challenger on the road. Im having some problems with my power steering pump. When i drive for about 10 minutes the steering starts to feel hard like there is no PS fluid . I believe the fluid is foaming up ( maybe because engine RPM) . Did anyone ever have this problem or can give me some advice? Thanks a bunch.

Can anyone help me here? It's driving me crazy!

I had some problems with my steering too when I just bought my challenger. The return hose to the pump splashed, installed a new...again, then the the hose from pump to steering house broke... I didn't had any assist at low rpm's. Then I found a new pump, installed it and no more problems after that. I don't know how easy these are to find for you, but maybe you could give it a try (or use somebody else's pump to try it out) Can't think of more suggestions,sorry

Thanks Hans for replying. I had that problem also with the hose breaking but that was only b/c the last owner rigged the high pressure line with a piece of FUEL HOSE! I put in a new high pressure PS pump hose to gearbox and its holding fine. I have NOOOO idea what power steering pump is on my motor. I have a 383 and its not a saginaw pump b/c it does not have a oval top. I'll try to find a picture of my engine to see if you guys could maybe identify the pump. Thanks again, Nick

In that picture you can get some what of an idea where it's located hopefully that will help.
