So I just did hi steer on my 1982 pickup and my power steering surges and pulls my truck left or right really bad when I give it some gas any ideas do I have air bubbles that need to be bleed further?

[OOPS]

Did you just do high steer or did you also do ram assist? Did you bleed the steering box?

Yes I bled it turn it back and forth a bunch of time part of the times with the power steering pump running part with the front jacked up. That's really the only way I know how to unless there is a better option to bleed it

[OOPS]

You have to bleed the box.

1. While holding the adjusting screw with a flat blade screw loosen the jam nut about 4-5 complete turns.

2. Make sure the washer is up against the jam nut, be careful because there is a O-ring on the center of the washer. You do not want to tear it or you will be looking for a source for said washer.

3. Start it up, turning the wheel back and forth watching the jam nut until no air leaks out, only fluid.

4. Holding the stud with a screwdriver tighten the jam nut.

Some of the boxes have a bleeder like a brake, slip a hose on it, stars it up, loosen the bleeder and turn the wheel back and forth until no more air comes out.

Use only ATF in the system, not power steering fluid.

This is what the washer looks like.
