bubbly power steering
ok i bought a fix it urself book from autozone and ive done all steps correctly!! all my lines are clean and no ware(that i know of)... ive bleed the system the best i could. is there any kind of better bleeding procedures?! ive spent more money on this problem then any other problem on my cherokee...
im confused on what to do now
could it be my power steering pump? and how do i go about checking that cuz just replacing it is 100$ out of my way!
in the morning it makes a loud noise creating the bubbles.
BUT once hot the bubbles go away and there is no noise... im so confused on whats going on with my jeep!!

i have the same problem. only thing i can come to think of is air getting into the system through an old seal or something that needs to be replaced.
i want to piggy-back on this and see what other have to say.

the leaks could be anywhere near the steering box, the steering pump/reservoir (since they are a combo unit), or from any of the lines for the fluid.
you don't have to let me know if anybody responds. it will show up in the "user CP" link in bold letters. i appreciate the thought though

Bubbles, or "Cavatation" is caused by an air leak, more than likely on the suction side. As comanche man said it could also be from the main sealing oring.
