stiff steering

[ConfederateTyrant]

I would agree with the others who are suggesting Auto-RX, in the event that a seal issue could be worth a shot. You'd only need about 1.5 ounces for your system, so you could use the rest of the bottle to treat your transmission, differential, or engine.

If you notice a great improvement, then fully purge the system with Redline or Royal Purple power steering fluid.

Kes,
I don't know how Honda Power Steering fluid is in conparison with Pentosin or as Conf Ty has mentioned...Redline or RP. These fluids may be the "Be All, End All" of the P/S world. I personaly like P/S systems that require Dex ATF. It makes life easier.

I tried the lucas and it works much better now. Man that stuff is thick.

I used the Lucas PS stop leak on my 2002 Impala and it has significantly slowed down a leak from one of the pressed in plugs. It is quite thick but has not really helped with the stiff steering first thing in the morning when it is really cold. You may not find a liquid solution to your problem - mechanical repair may be what is needed.

i own 2 88 g vans that used to act rough in the morning if cold.
i flushed and refilled with mobil 1 atf.
no more problem.
i used several partial bottles of noname psf to flush so i wasted little m1.
the old stuff came out black as tar!

yep, Mobil 1 ATF is really nice in my 91 BMW - amazing how the difference could be felt, compared to recent dino ATF...
