Odd steering issue help ?
Short version: Steering is perfect on startup, but becomes extremely stiff after a minute of idling.
Full version: So we replaced my power steering pump today and replaced the high pressure hose. On startup after the replacement, the steering was easy as cake, but would occasionally jerk a little randomly. Then, after a minute or two, the steering got EXTREMELY stiff. I couldn't even turn the wheel. Then after couple hours, we started it again, and the same thing happened, although not AS stiff. The power steering fluid is brown (probably from dirt during install).
If anyone knows anything about this, I'd appreciate some info!
