M60 power steering issue with purple tag rack

Post Mon Apr 10, 2023 1:26 pm

I have my v8 build very near completion and ready for the road but one issue I'm having is power steering squeal when turning the wheels and revving for example when pulling away...

The engine originally had what I found out later to he a self leveling suspension pump on which I blocked off thr 3rd hole but the pump shat itself.

I bought a NON self leveling suspension pump but it squeals and is not only annoying but also a sign something is not right.

I'm sure I've seen somewhere someone fitted an e30 pump as they're lower pressure ??
Wondering if anyone has a how to or pictures how they fitted said pump to this engine please ?

Or is this even necessary?

Thanks

Problem solved. Again

Fitted a shorter auxiliary drive belt and has eliminated the noise.

Realoem list 7pk1580 for these. A 1570 did the trick for anyone else that may experience this
