Hey Guys,

Not sure if im being paranoid or what, my rig usually idles at about 500-600. When turing the wheel, sometimes it will drop to 300. Not a big deal, but would this be a sign of something starting to go?

TPS is fairly new, replaced in the Spring.

I don't think you have anything to worry about

Does the wheel get hard to turn, like you're also losing the power steering pressure? Or does it turn fine and you just notice a drop in RPM?

If you took care of the jeep the hole time I wouldn't worry to much about it. Anything that's going to break just is at this point.

when you turn the wheel in engages the PS pump and will drop the rpm slightly. Just like if at idle and you kick the ac on, it will drop the idle a hair because the compressor engages. Its just putting more load on the engine.
