Question power steering pump rebuild

at low speeds or stopped my steering shudders. my fluid was a little low before this and when i checked it. it was coming out the vent in the cap./really full/ it still works but the fluid level rose. so i assume its not pumping. would it be feasible to rebuild? could it just be some build up in the lines? and if i let this go would the pulley lock up and leave me stranded?

Default Re: power steering pump rebuild

well i went ahead and installed a new pump. it came with new seals for the valve body. if anyone is thinking of trying to clean out the valve body, its directly behind the fitting on the side of the pump. its spring loaded so use caution when you take it out.
