If its been a week, there should no tbe any air. if its heavy, the rack could be bad, or weak pump????? any noises? air will usually cause a whiney noise, and there will be air whipped, foamy fluid in the pump. A pump pressure regulator could be stuck open, not allowing full pressure? I would have a shop diagnose it, tell them the history and see if they can find a cause.

A power steering dosent need bleeding. If you replaced it a week ago and was fine until now then it's not an air problem. Power steering fluid is pumped through the system even when the steering is not being used. Definatly not an airlock problem. Cheer's

Yes you do need to bleed the power steering and you do this by turning the steering wheel with the vehicle running, back and forth both directions all the way about 5 times or until there are no air bubbles in reservoir.

Hi, quickest way to answer your question. Contact a major salvage yard. They have cross-reference master lists for most vehicles as to what will fit what or, can be swapped over.
