« on: 10 October 2010, 20:01:19 »

hi all.my power steering is goin wierd!when parking the power steering goes really heavy for a few seconds then it seems to kick in and be ok,also when going around right hand bends it will sometimes just stop working and becomes very very heavy!the fluid is at correct level and looks pretty clean to me.ive recently replaced all wishbones track rod ends drop links and idler arm had camber and tracking all set up correctly so i dont think problem is there.any one got anu suggestions as whats causing this?

If the fluid is clean and bright red then I'd say the pump is on it's way out.

This is the 4th or 5th power steering pump today! Are they on offer? ;D ;D

Check your (front)  tyre pressures,low pressure puts quite a load on the pump!
