1995 SVX LSi Power steering

[chaaz0]

Hi there, I'm struggling with my Power Steering not operating well after being rebuilt.

Originally, took it to a PS rack rebuild shop in Detroit.

One of the supply lines was rusted on the rack and a seal leaked.

They reworked it and now its installed.

PS functions very stiff at idle/low speed.

My shop mech. checked the PS pressure - its at spec - 1100+ PSI

I'm starting to hedge my bets and looking for a good replacement steering rack source.

Also, has anyone got a service manual excerpt for this system?

My email is my username at yahoo.

Thanks in advance

The LSi has speed sensitive steering. The steering is loose for low speed maneuvering and gets firmer as speed increases for better control and stability. If there's a problem with the system the steering will be stiff at slow speeds. It could be as simple as a bad electrical connection or even the solenoid.
My '92 had the same issue and I found a wire that had come undone. When reconnected it worked perfectly.
