rego on my ms85	Thu, 05 August 2004 06:12

Hey Guys, You probably all know about my power steering problem and it's getting rego soon and i'd like to take off what ever is broken and try to get my old man to fix it or take it somewhere to get it fixed, i was just wondering what part exactly do i take off the power steering pump or the steering rack? And what do i look for? I think i posted something about my power steering but never really got a good response in terms of what to do. And if anybody on here has 2 oringinal ms85 hubcaps i will buy and i also need the long metal strip that goes down the side at the bottom i will buy if any one has these. the car should go in for rego around october. Well hopefully somebody can help me out as im still learning Thanks Brad [Report message to a moderator]

Brad, where is the fluid leaking from - the PS pump (bolted to the engine and has a pulley) or from the steering box (connected to your steering wheel by way of a column)? It should be easy to tell - they are 1 metre apart. Invariably they leak because a seal or two has failed, but you might be lucky and the leak may just be due to a loose hose. Like I suggested in my PM response, you need to clean the area to establish where the leak is from. If you determine the leak is from one of the seals, then you need to remove the PS box and replace the seals. The seals are readily available from any bearing shop and should set you back $10-15. The steering box is connected to 4 things: 1) the chassis 2) the steering column 3) the pitman arm, and 4) the power steering lines. Undo all of these and the box should fall out. It is possible to replace the front seal on the power steering pump without removing the pump. [Updated on: Thu, 05 August 2004 06:23] [Report message to a moderator]
