Still need help !
I have a '77 that the power steering fades when the engine temp goes up. The car has a new power steering pump and when cold plenty of assist. The belt is tight. Does anyone have any ideas? The help would be appreciated. :confused:

I appreciate the reply. Is there any thing else I should check? As I said this was a brand new pump from Zip's. I was concerned maybe the valve or the ram has seals that are failing when hot. When we got the car the previous pump was damaged due to a broken mount and the car had no assist. I 'm not sure how long it was bad.

Could it be your Power Steering Cylinder, maybe as the fluid heats up it is seaping past the plunger?
Just a guess.
