Re: Noisy Power Steering

Today's THE Day.

I anticipated some difficulty unbolting everything, more particular about the pulley (doesn't come with the new pump).
But everything went well, absolutely no issue.

Progress!

Job done!

Since we oil our trucks here in the North Rust Kingdom, I cleaned a bit the Oil Cooler (some of you explained me that this is not a suspension spring ).  I suppose it will exchange heat easier with external air if not glued in the anti-rust grease...

Excited to test if the Lee pump will be quiet and if the NAPA gear box will be smooth and comfortable.
Will give feedback here after riding Big Brother on the road this weekend.

Was too excited, cannot wait.

Just try to hear the pump noise, for fun:

My pump works fine, but I'm tempted for the no noise version!

Great job!
