How to check a power steering box
« on: October 10, 2009 - 02:20:19 PM »
OK I have 4 mopar power steering boxes lying around and I am curious to know if there is a way I can bench test them to see if any of them are good to install in my challenger.

Ussually a power steering box is only deemed bad when it starts to leak under pressure.
