Power steering pump

JeepinLife said:

Past few times I go start up the jeep I have no pwr steering for a few seconds-mins then it works. (Sometimes it works right away) Sometimes with a click/clunk. This a sign of failure soon? Fluid looks fine and full. No leaks and pump "looks" ok

you'll need to remove the belt and check the pump pulley, sounds like it may be failing.

My power steering started being intermittent like that for a few months and then on the way home from KOH it decided to go out all together. Glad it was just highway driving to get home and I wasn't in the middle of a trail, that would have sucked!

That's how mine started when it gave up the ghost.
Got worse then went out all together. Only had slight power at high RPM's.
