Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Steering lock-up problems with the ERF C-series have been tracked to an inadequate oil-supply system and the manufacturer is carrying out service modifications to ease the problem.

On units fitted with the Rolls Royce/Perkins Eagle engine, however, ERF says that the steering problem is caused by aeration resulting from pump speeds which are too low. The company is able to tweak the ZF pumps on more recent models to overcome this difficulty, but admits that it is more problematic to convert non-ZF trucks.
