Steering problem
1992 Ford F150 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 198000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am hoping someone can help me with this problem. I have a Ford F150 4x4 with a 351M in it. About two weeks ago my Power Steering went out when turning to the right only. I checked the fluid level and it was low. I topped it off and started it up. I noticed that the pump started shooting fluid out the reservoir. I thought the pump went bad so I replaced with new. I completely flushed the system tell fluid came out clear. I bleed the system by lifting the front off the ground and turned wheel back and forth to stop position about 40 times. I checked fluid level and it was fine and showed no bubbles. I started the truck up and heard the pump start gurggling and seen that the fluid was again coming out the reservoir and looked real frothy.
Is there a valve somewhere else that could be bad that is causing the fluid to flow the backwards and shoot out the res? Any help would be great.
Thank you

The problem is probably in the steering gear. Clogged passages in steering gear. Leaks in steering gear.
It's a problem with either the rack and pinion, or the steering gear, depending on which your vehicle utilizes.
The problem is your rack and pinion .
The power steering dipstick is made into the fluid filler cap. The power steering unit is on the front of the motor, and the cap is right on the top of it.
Yes. you will have to replace the manual steering box with a power steering box, install a power steering pump and lines and possibly a main pulley on the crank to run the belt for the power steering pump if your car doesn't have the right pulley.
Right on the power steering pump. pointing to the front of the car.
The power steering reservoir can be located on the right-hand side of the engine, near the back. The cap will be labeled as power steering fluid only.
the power steering fluid is located on the passenger side right in front of the wiper fluid resevoiur
power steering is located right behind alt deep in the right side ull feel it then turn nob.
Power Steering Fluid Or Power Steering Pump
AnswerIts on the right hand side where the alternator is at. Look down, and you will notice a cap that says "POWER STEERING" on it.
The power steering reservoir is on the power steering pump.Looking from the front of car it is on the passenger side on front of engine. just to the right of the radiator recovery tank.
