Solved. Read on another post (that I can't remember) that mentioned putting the o ring IN the PS pump, not ON the nipple. Have it a shot and voila!

I had a partner turn the wheel while I watched the P/S fluid reservoir bubble like it was boiling so I opened it back up to make sure the o ring was where it should be. All appears well there, at least to me... Does anyone see anything I screwed up or is it time to start diagnosing further?

I just did the o ring fix and I have a couple questions...

 

First, I believe this to be the right place to do the o ring...

Second, is it normal for it to look like this after I drove a few figure 8s?

Gonna be good weather this weekend in Utah, if I have time I'm getting it done!

Does this appear to be the correct axle for a 2005 2.5 LGT 5EAT? Just looked it up on autozone.com using their parts look up tool.

I need to replace mine soon. Should I use this part, or just do the "clean and re-use" method that this walk-through discusses?

 

Thanks!
