power steering problems
When i hop'd in the max this morning and fired it up my power steering was whinying real bad 
. I checked the fluid and it's fine but it has ton's of little air bubbles. It calms down when it warms up. But it's still there a little. Any ideas. I was guessing pump. If so how hard is this?
Thanks org.

if there is bubbles then there is air in your power steering... Hrmm I know with break lines and clutch lines if there is air you would have to bleed it and put the fluid back in... I bet you the excess air has something to do with it.

I have also noticed these problems after I installed my ur udp. But the belt is at correct tenssion and does not slip. I wonder if this has anything to do with it. And I will look into getting the air bubbles out of my fluid to. It looks really frothy like the top of a rootbeer float. I thought it was a bad seal, on the pump letting air in. But I don't know. Thank's for you imput guys.
