I haven't drivin my YJ in quite a while 2 months or more. Started but not
drivin. 4.0 manual.

As i drive it around the neighborhood the power steering is not existant. As
if it has none. Power steering pump is fine, no leaks, lots of fluid, no
noises. I replaced the water pump and thermostat a while ago and still
haven't adjusted the serpentine belt properly but i don't hear it slipping.
(no automatic tensioner on mine) Could one of those big lines actually
clog???


So what could it be....?

Any ideas would be great, Thanx......

Hi Brian,
I've never heard of a clogged power steering hydraulic line. Have
someone turn the steering wheel while you see if the pump pulley stops.
Sometimes air gets in the box, and it is harder to turn the the left.
And sometimes on setting up the valves and clutches we screw up, but
I've never heard of it going out of adjustment on it's own.

You might have clogged something up, but first tighten up that
serpentine properly.
