1996 Mercury Power steering bad Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting mercuryman User Dec 6, 2014, 7:14 AM Post #1 of 3 (1532 views) 1996 Mercury Power steering bad Sign In I have a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis, and the steering is hard to turn. There is NO fluid leaking. The plastic container is full. The belt is new, and not loose. There is no fluid around the power steering pump There are no whining noises either. Can a power steering pump be bad without leaking fluid. All the front end parts seem good, and I recently had front end alignment. Can it just be clogged hoses.

There is nothing that could restrict it beyond a total catastrophic failure of the pump and at that point the pump would be the issue, not the hose. The pump or the related valving would be the highest suspects on the list. A warning though that if the pump did have a catastrophic failure the debris would contaminate the entire system and would have to be flushed thoroughly before installing a new pump. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. mercuryman User Dec 6, 2014, 8:05 AM Post #3 of 3 (1511 views) Re: 1996 Mercury Power steering bad Sign In ok, I will replace the pump, and flush the hoses, and add new fluid.
