lost power steering
13800 miles and the power steering went out. It still has fluid in it. But there is fluid that spewed out. Can't pin point from where. But I know I don't have any power steering. Gotta clean it up and bring it in to the dealership on monday. I'm sure they will blame the 35's.
Several threads on power steering issues. Broken sector shafts, blown pumps, etc.
Do a search here in stock and in modified on "power steering" , mostly what it boils down to is a crappy steering box we have, couple it with bigger tires,more weight, etc. = more strain on the pump and or more easily overheating the fluid.
Try to clean it up, re- fill, jack up the front , crank jk, try turning lock to lock and see if you can find the leak origination.

Mine is 2007, 71k miles, I had 33's and replaced with 35's, 3 months later my power steering pump went out, replaced it, 15 days later went out again! Now I don't wanna replace it again, I am looking for a solution. I can't have one pump every month
