Question Help: any power steering guru's out there

Ive been having trouble with my power steering and from what Ive gotten from the few people Ive talked is that there is air in the system or the pump is going out. I am looking for someone with the experience to help determine the problem or point me in the right direction to a reliable shop I was going to take it to the dealer, but they wanted $95 just to diagnose. If anyone helps me I'll provide lunch and some cash.

I.M. me or call me at 389-0271

also depending on your mileage it might be time for a power steering fluid change

What year is your car? How many miles?

You really gotta provide more info if you need help from "gurus"?

You might as well just say "I have a problem and I need help..." That is just as good.

sorry, its a 2000 forester withe about 76k. I check for leakage(Breifly) but found nothing, fluid level is full, although it acts as if low, jerking while turning left and right, but is fine when revving.
