Bmoto1 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 The Garrison G21 power steering on my B61 seems fine turning left, not so helpful turning right. worked well both ways until recently. Did without if for years, so I'm 50% better off than before but it is hard to plan left turn only trips. Fluid is only 2 years old but pretty dark- would changing it help, or just delay me from replacing seals somewhere? I don't see any leaks and the reservoir is within one inch of the top.fontanaB61.BMP Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1354-power-steering-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most hydraulic steering facilities such as Chicago Power Steering can take care of the problem.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

CheersAndyThanks, and thanks to Rob for the hint on the seals. I just added a chrome bumper, had the tanks powder coated gloss black with chrome straps. I'm sure the lower wind resistance of the chome will offset the costs in fuel savings in no time Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1354-power-steering-question/#findComment-6786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
