Somebody from a different Mopar site said to check the idler arm also..does anyone know if there is a torque spec for it. This is a response from Lares today. I'll check the arm and bled again.


This sounds like you may have air in your system yet. Disable the ignition, using recommended procedure in your service manual. Raise front wheels until just clearing the ground. Place drain pan under power steering pump return port. Disconnect return line from power steering pump and place it in drain pan. Flush the power steering reservoir by pouring new fluid into reservoir until the fluid runs clear. Be sure to use fluid recommended for your vehicle. Leave return line in drain pan. Cap the pump reservoir return port to prevent leakage. Fill power steering pump with new fluid. While having someone watch the fluid level and adding fluid to the pump, crank engine over for less than 2o second intervals( to prevent wear on starter), continue to add new fluid until return line runs clear. Reconnect return line. This completes the flushing procedure. Now for the bleeding procedure. With someone watching the fluid level(keep fluid level above top of pump casting) crank the engine over using the ignition switch in less than 20 second intervals (to prevent wear on starter). While you are cranking the engine over, turn steering wheel ¼ left then ¼ right/ then ½ turns left and right from center slowly until you reach lock to lock. If you see foam or bubbles, stop and let the system rest until bubbles and or foam dissipates. Repeat bleeding procedure until bubbles and or foam no longer enter the pump. Reconnect ignition system, lower wheels to the ground. Start engine and test drive the car. If steering is smooth bleeding is complete. If steering is erratic, whines or fluid is foaming repeat bleeding procedure again. I know this procedure seems long however it is important to be precise.
