I just fixed my steering binding problem, which has plaged me for a couple months)I replaced the rack (which was only a year old rebuilt unit from Advanced Auto), this didn't fix it.

I drained and replaced fluid...this didn't fix it.

I removed and disassembled, inspected and cleaned the pump.....3 times....this didn't fix it.

I bought a $6 bottle of "Lucus" power steering additive...and after a couple miles of driving....it works like new!

I don't usually put those “Miracle fix all “ products in my car, but decided to try it before purchasing a $400 pump or $550 control valve…Glad I did.

Worth a try, you might be as surprised as I was
