Hey, Scotty!
I have a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, 162,000 miles. I have a power steering problem. When I turn to the right at low speeds, the steering wheel gets hard. Only to the right, left works perfect. I drained the power steering fluid and even replaced the power steering pump. But its still the same, a guy at Autozone said it could be the steering box, any idea what it could be. When I do turn to the right you can hear a noice that seems to be coming from the steering box.
At that age and mileage it could well be the steering box, but it could be other suspension parts as well. Have a good front end shop check it out for binding. (Or if you do your own work you could jack up the front of the truck and check it yourself.)
Be aware that most rebuilt steering boxes at the popular parts stores have a terrible reputation. I've read that Readhead Steering Gears and Borgeson Steering Boxes are good but have no personal experience with them.
Sorry for going awol, its most likely the steering box, it does have a leak, im thinking its a seal but either way im gonna replace it the whole thing.
When you replaced the power steering pump, did you make sure to get all the air out of the system?
Yes sir, most likely its the steering box, it does have a leak im thinking its a seal but im just gonna replace the whole thing.
