1992 SUBARU SVX POWER STEERING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

Check your hoses and connections, you may have a hole on the vacume side of the system sucking air or your system is over full?

Bubbles usually is a real or hole allowing air to be sucked into the system

the fuse box should be under the steering column inside the lower dash. there usually is a small cover to mark its location

If you let go of steering wheel and step on brakes does the wheel vibrate?

I'd say its either warped rotors, power steering malfunction, or possible wheel bearing, although if wheel bearing you should feel/hear a hum which would get louder depending on which way you turn the vehicle.

I had an SVX, and loved it! Had to replace the power steering pump too, but I found that until I did a really thorough flush that it still didn't work right. Jack the front wheels off the ground. Have a helper get in the car to start it and turn the wheel back and forth. Before starting it, disconnect the low-pressure return hose from the pump and put the end of it into a bucket. Be ready with a couple of quarts of ATF fluid (you don't need to use power steering fluid.) Start the car and pour fresh fluid into the pump while the steering wheel is being turned all of the way back and forth a couple of times. Don't let the fluid level get down to where it pumps any air! Shut it off just before you finish pouring in the second quart of ATF. Reconnect the low pressure hose, run it again and adjust the fluid level. This worked for me - the steering operated like new. Good luck.

How new is the battery? There will be a small drain to power clock, ECM memory, etc..
Are any lights on when doors are closed and locked?

Obviously, there is a short circuit somewhere. If you are unable to spot it visually, you might need to track it down with a Multi-meter.

Remove the plastic cover held on by two 10mm hexbolts. Slide cover forward (dont try to lift up).

Below the Power Steering pump is a pulley. This is the belt tensioner. With a 12mm box-end wrench, loosen pulley bolt.

There is a 12mm bolt that extends from the pulley at a right angle. Turn this bolt counter-clockwise to loosen, and clockwise to tighten. Make sure you loosen the belt enough to easily slip it off the alternator pulley. Put on new belt and reverse disassembly process.

yes, it should be on the drivers side. it usually sticks right out so you can see it.
good luck.

if you are turning the wheel all the way until it stops then you are putting the steering pump in a bind cuasing the engine to slow down more causing the engine to stall ,,, recommend you turn the steering wheel all the way you are going until the wheel stops and then back the other way a little bit to stop this binding,, shoulsd stop your problem

There are 2 adjusters on the steering column, One on the left side that tilts the wheel up to make it easier to get in and out, and one on the bottom to adjust for comfort.

i have the same problem the red check engine light :(
