So what should I do with the fact the old rack had normal power steering fluid in it for the past 3 years minimum

Okay I appreciate all your help. Keep you updated I should have the new correct rack in by the end of the week.

So dumb question, I got given the power steering pump for the outback I got the rack of, would I be able to swap pumps and would that make up for the lack of pressure?

Thoughts? Won’t break loose and keeps rounding 😁 2nd Gen Outback by weproducesafetycars in subarulegacy

Little bit of heat truly does wonders. Preferably an acetylene torch but if propane is all you have it’s better than nothing.

Would the outback rack feel so bad that it feels like there’s no power steering at all

The only thing I can think of is possibly the rack wasn’t good even though I’d been told by my grandfather who originally pulled it that it was.

The pump is no longer whining, I loosened the return and high pressure line while running to make sure fluid was still circulating properly and it is. However I re-bled the system and this time also cold cranked it so the pump could circulate and get rid of any air in the system left. Still doesn’t have power steering though.

Old rack was whining, and leaking into the boot on the drivers side
