[Supras] Supras Digest, Vol 47, Issue 40

[D P]

After I changed my leaking high pressure PS line, I heard the whining sound and I thought something else was wrong. Someone here told me to turn the steering wheel from stop to stop get get the trapped air out.......I did a few times but didn't help much but, over time, the sound did dissappear.Darren92T 5-Speed White PackageCanadian Model in Florida> Message: 6> Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2007 08:38:18 -0400> From: "Walker, Brian \(Rich.
