JCB 3C11 Power Steering problem, Help Please
Hi, I have recently replaced all the seals in the power steering ram due to it leaking, when I started the digger up, the steering wheel went round and round and the wheels weren't turning both ways . I lifted the wheels off the ground and it would vaguely go left and right, the steering wheel feels like it is slipping /juddering, I have bled the power steering pipes a lot where they join on to the ram, now it intermittently moves to the left but still won't work to the right. I thought it was air in the system, but now I hear there is a relief valve (which I know nothing about) could this be the cause of it? The annoying thing is before I did the work on the system it was working perfectly although the ram was leaking. I have replaced the hydraulic filter and there is the right amount of fluid in the system, Any advice would be really appreciated. It is a 3C11 1976 leyland engine with manual gearbox if that helps

Hi,
Yes there is the right amount of fluid in the system. It is a 1976 3C11 Leyland engine manual gearbox.

The relief valve is under the 5/8 af nut at the top/back of the pump it is adjusted by shim's between the cap and spring it should run at 1750 psi.
