I'm having a hard time with my power steering while out on the trails. Last Saturday was the 3rd time it has happened and the 2nd time after replacing the power steering pump. My Jeep is my daily driver so I don't do anything too extreme but when we go out I'd call it moderate. The last two times I've done something semi technical where the steering is getting a pretty good workout I will lose about 90% of my power steering.
This can last for a few hours like it did Saturday or a few days like the previous times. I can't seem to get a grasp of what would cause this much less why it corrects itself later. Is there some kind of pressure check valve that is engaging? Power steering is not my best subject by any means. Mystery to me. Anyone else ever experience this?
