A friend of mine put a WF and power steering on a wd45, his problem is tha tit wanders all over the road, he has blead all of the air out of the lines, so do you think the trouble is in the PS PUMP or the front Gearbox? thanks for any help..Tom

You will have to get inside the pedestal and find where the slop is and fix it.

He might have the front wheels toed in or toed out. There's several things it could be and not be the power steering.

Needs to be toe in about 1/4". Toe out will make any vehicle wander badly. To much today in wears tires but will still drive ok.

Jack up the front end and grab the front tires and give them a shake to be sure there is no slop.
