air in p/s lines

Hey,

Does anybody know what happens if air gets into the p/s lines? Anything bad gonna happen to the pump? And would it build excessive pressure in the reservoir?

TIA,
Jim

Not sure if this is going to help you but I know how to get it out. My mom recently had a new p/s pump put in her Chrysler and it had air in the lines. It would moan and groan when she turned and the mechanic said to turn the wheel all the way in one direction at night. She did and the air came out somehow. I don't think its bad since her pump didn't mess up. Why/how did you get air in them?

Dropped something in my p/s reservoir. I can't get it out so I'm going to remove the entire reservoir assembly - obviously requiring the lines be disconnected. I'll try not to but I think I'm going to get air in them.

Thx,
Jim

If it was metallic... try a 'magnetic pickup tool' first.
