Power Steering whine

[alacaria@xxxxxxxxx]

I have bee reading about that. I guess the 56 Imperials called for 10w
oil for the pump. I also read on the Imperial site that the 50's models
used dextron III. I used power steering fluid. I will flush the system
tomorrow and replace it with transmission fluid.

Check your owners manual. Some of the older cars called for transmission fluid in the power steering.

Hi Everyone;

I had a squealing noise on my 56. I purchased a used one from an individual

on the list. I cleaned it flushed it out and painted it and put it on my

car. It still makes a squealing noise, maybe worse than my original. I used

regular power steering fluid. I may have got another unit that squeals. I

did turn the steering  back and forth to work the air out. Has anyone ever

rebuilt one of these units or is it better to send it away to be

rebuilt?  I do not know what else to do.

Anthony
