Hi Guys,

have any of you experienced problems in power steering ?
i had my Alterra checked by my mechanic and he said that there is a problem with some oil seal resulting to the ATF fluid not flowing properly and dripping. He said that a Power steering / Rack and Pinion repair kit would fix it. however, i could not find that said kit for an alterra.

basically the problem is, the ATF fluid is dripping and the steering wheel is really hard to steer. its like there is no power steering at all.

need your inputs guys and how to address the problem.
currently , my alterra is undergoing diagnostics in CASA. the maintenance person in the CASA said, if what my mechanic said is true, they do not replace oil seals but only replace the assembly itself which will cost hundreds of thousands

thanks !
