most off roaders open their wallet and reach deep . The part counter personel will sell you an performance power steering pump. This is a good idea and will definitely be a noticeable upgrade.

The P/S problem is fixed now. Not quite, it starts to heat up from heavy use, on the trail. The next thing you know you have opened your wallet again. This time its recomended you buy a high performance gear box. The p/s gear box combined with the power steering pump make wheeling a pleasure again.

This works like a charm, that is until summer hits. That familiar power steering squeal starts howling again. This time a friend suggest going to a off-road shop and find out what the pros are using. You are told to try full synthetic power steering fluid.
