Pressure Test: RWD
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 35 other vehicles, including the 1987 Plymouth Voyager, 1987 Plymouth Grand Voyager, 1987 Dodge Ramcharger, 1987 Dodge Ram Wagon, and 1987 Dodge Ram Van. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn steering wheel from left to right with engine idling at 600-800 RPM. There should be at least 900 psi (63.3 kg/cm2 ) of pressure.
- If pressure is low, momentarily close valve. If pressure is less than 900 psi (63.3 kg/cm2 ), pump is faulty. If pressure is 900 psi (63.3 kg/cm2 ) but was low at previous reading, steering gear is at fault.
