1997 Mercury Mountaineer AWD_ Notchy Power Steering

Post by jasonty »

My belt tensioner's bearing failed and caused the serpentine belt to be destroyed. After I left the shop the steering was VERY notchy. They stated that this was normal for Fords after running w/ the belt off, and would self correct. Does this sound correct?

Is it still notchy? Or did it smooth out after awhile like they said?

It’s a spare vehicle, so it hasn’t went very far. I guess I’ll have to go out some miles on it.
