97 Cadillac Steering Problems

Have steering problems. At times steering is very hard, then acts like something breaks loose. Is there a repair or does the steering box have to be replaced? Thanks

There is no way to diagnose this in this environment, as stated a p/s pump pressure test should be performed and also the steering should be inspected for any binding components, belt and tensioner checked for possible slippage.

Back to the steering problem. At idle is when the problem occurs, at higher RPM's the steering is better. I don't have a tester, can they be rented and if so where would I look. What should the pressure be? Thanks Roy

A pump pressure tester set up cost over a 100.00, I would suggest you get a pro to help you with this.
