I just inhereted (good thing or bad thing?) a 740. The power steering is inoperative. Could someone out there give me the run down on where to look for problems. This car has the suspension leveling system which I understand is tied into the ps system.
Thanks for your help! |

This car is very complex. I urge you to get the Bentley's manual to help in your troubleshooting:

What have you done so far? How did you get it home with no power steering?
Check the pump to see if it turns. Enough fluid in the system?
If it's in good condition (you're in the fringes of the Rust Belt), it will be a great road trip car. _________________
