2001 Chrysler T&C - 3.8L Pwr Strg Vibration

Post by Holly »

Customer is complaining of a power steering vibration while at idle. We have replaced the hoses per Chrysler service bulletin and it did not make a difference. Any ideas?

I think we need more info. It vibrates while turning the wheel and stops when the wheel stops?

Aren't there several steps to that TSB? I thought there was a new cooler too. And did you use real ATF+4??

That system is very difficult to bleed also. Be sure there is absolutely no air bubbles!

When I worked for Chrysler, there was also a resv replacement that helped to repair this also. Have also added Lucas power steering additive also.
