[Chrysler300] Power Steering System Air Bleeding Procedure

["Knutsen, Mark C" <Mark.Knutsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Group,

 

Just wanted to pass along a different procedure for bleeding air out of
the Power Steering system that I received from LARES Corp. The basic
idea is to lift the front wheels off the ground and turn the steering
wheel while cranking the car. The car should not be started until the
air is out of the system as this is hard on the steering gear valve.
LARES suggested pulling the coil wire but with the car sitting a week or
so I was good for three 3-5 second cranks. After each crank I refilled
the PS pump. After the third crank the level was stable. The car started
the next crank and there was none of the normal power steering noise
that comes with air in the system.
