Hey guys, as u know, i got the same lift as tall quad, but running 31's. I was feeling some wobbling in the steering last week....so i checked the fluid and it was empty. Turns out that the power steering is leaking pretty bad :( This ain't good. It's leaking where the steering arm connects to the steering box...sorta where we put that 3 inch extender for the body lift. It's bleeding and i don't like the sound of it so i'm taking it to the shop tuesday. I am assuming that rack an pinion steering is weak for off roading...especially for the 2wd that aren't made out for handling big tires. I'll see what they say and let u guys know so u can prepare or prevent. I got pix of the leak so if u want some, let me know and i'll email u with the pix. Until then, let's pray it's cheap ;)

Dude put some Lucas oil power steering fluid leak stop in the reservoir. I was having the same problem, and I put in the Lucas and it slowly has almost stopped leaking. It says on the label one or two bottles, I have gone through 3, but the leak has almost stopped, so I keep using it now. I do a moderate amount of off roading usually twice a month. Thats the cheapest way, if you dont have a warranty anymore! Also might want to think about a power steering fluid cooler, I want to get one myself.

The only difference is that I had the problem before I put on my bigger tires, and before I put on the 3" body lift.
