Power steering issue
77CVT:
--- Quote --- Gday 77CVT, did I see you on TV in one of those Tarmac Rallies? I was sure it was someone from the Queensland Corvette Club that was at Oran Park at Easter this year. I was v jealous when I saw the action on telly, and it looked unreal.

I was on telly??? I gave it a good run but was worried I'd have no brakes so I only went at 75%. I'd love to see the video of the weekend!!
Cheers

Can not remember the tv station it was on, I reckon you should enquire with who organised it. The footage was mostly other cars but I did go off when I spotted a Corvette. From memory the times were not to far off the top. At the time of viewing I assured everyone thavettewoodawun-;50yacahns

So VO, Zedohsix, did you get to the bottom of this? Was it the type of oil used, the pump, the lines or maybe all of them? Mine also suffered from the dreaded "track day whine" and as i'm in the process of re-installing my steering pump and accessories, i'm curious to know how you guys went with this.

I sorted my issues with a replacement of the fluid back to as close as I could get to original specs with available fluids. While I had things apart I fixed a weeping hose which had been annoying me.
In the end I used RedLine fluid and have donated the RP to some of my fellow Vetters to see if it was any use to them.

Good timing MADVET, I was thinking about bouncing this today.
My car has spent alot of down time off the road since November for various reasons, largely due to a power steering leak and llack of time to fix it. Last night I finally resolved the leaky line issue and am yet to see if the changes to the system I have made have made any difference when putting the system under load with spirited driving.
As it stands today my system is just about bled now - no solutions but it looks like we're closer. There are a few other people doing their own homework at the same time and I also have a few other changes that I'll look into if the noise persists, I'll keep you guys posted of what I find.
(FYI at the moment I am thinking the issue in my case is either the pump or the lines still)
