This is probably a dumb question....

[Gregory OConnor]

John on the FC powersteering problems there are many threads. It
seems as the first sign of a problem is hot powersteering oil. I
think it gets hot first because the alignment or caster is off then
the hot oil contribute to the demise of the pump and hoses. PS pump
oil temp would be a good value to check with a raytech gun and keep
a record. Wit a recorn of normal temp so you can recognize a
problem before it leaves you stranded.
