Power Steering problem - Pls advise

[carlogt]

My isuzu hilander has intermittent problems sa power steering. Tumitigas ung steering pero i checked the fluid, di naman nababawasan so walang tagas. the belt looks ok naman. May mga shops ba kayo alam na nagchecheck ng power steering? taguig,alabang pasig area??

Please advise

[speedyfix]

maybe the power steering pump. check if it makes unusual noises

[carlogt]

no unusual noises. do you know any shop that checks power steerings? and can repair one?

[1D4LV]

try to bring it to prens alabang. they have guys there who specialize in power steering.

and yes, it can be repaired. there are power steering repair kits available.

[boy astig]

If there are leaks on the hoses, check the belt for tightness and slipping. If they're ok, then its the pump.

Like what happy_gilmore posted, repair kits are readily available and the pump can be repaired.

mga prens! salamat. cge daan ako prens this week

Ganyan na ganyan din sa XTRM ko. Hindi ko pa napatingnan. Sabi nga ni afrasay at mbeige malamang sa gearbox ang tama kelangan ng ma-overhaul.

Carlo update mo na lang kami.

[carlogt]

pre bakit sa gearbox?? kinabahan yata ako.. delikado ba to pag tumagal? ung pagkamatigas ng manibela is parang uncomfortablelang idrive ng matagal pero la naman tunog or leak e. di ko parin napapapalitan ung fluid ng power steering ko.

[Syuryuken]

May freeplay kasi yung power steering pero may kabigatan na yung manibela so nag-adjust ako sa gearbox nawala ng konti yung freeplay pero mas bumigat naman yung manibela. Hindi naman delikado kasi nadala ko pa ng Laiya, Batangas from Nueva Vizcaya tong XTRM ko.

May freeplay ba yung sayo?

may freeplay din ung manibela ko. nagpapalit ka na ba power steering fluid? ako sobrang tagal na. makakatulong ba un? also nagpapa grewase ka ba ng mga joints? will that help?

ngapala do u know any good shops na nagchecheck ng tire spindle? ung may machine shop? my left wheel is a bit off by a few degrees sa camber ,di na maadjust dahil kailangan daw icorrect ung tire spindle dahil na akyat sa gutter nung pinsan ko ung left wheel.

[mbeige]

Tumitigas? Baka dumudulas yung belt sa pulley. Experience ko kapag dumulas yung belt sa pulley, yung steering feel tumitigas. Pero the belts look OK upon inspection.

Sir, how long has it been since you last changed your PS fluid? Kung more than 3 years na, suggest you do it asap. Kung nagpalit ka na ng ball joints at yung nilagay mo ay may fittings, magpa greasing ka na rin. These will do a lot of help and hopefully solve your problem. If orig pa, palitan mo na. I agree with mbeige. Kung lumalangitngit yung belt mo or may times na malambot-matigas-malambot-matigas yung steering mo, signs of belt slippage na yan. Mbeige said it correctly, it may ok upon inspection. Check the underside of the belt (the one that gets into contact with the pulley). Malamang puro crack na yan.

Also, check mo yung gearbox mo for leaks.

I had a problem with my spindle some years back. Bumaluktot dahil bumigay yung wheel bearing ko, right side. Almost two weeks ako tumatakbo na halos 45 degrees yung right tire ko. Newbie lang kasi ako nun sa motoring world kya d naagapan agad. Maraming machine shop dyan along alabang zapote road that can help you with that.

Bro maraming salamat sa inputs mo!! tanong ko lang. mga around how much pagawa sa machine shop nung spindle? mejo baguhan lang din kse ko, so dapat ung machine shiop na puntahan ko ung may wheel allignment din dba para check nila kung ok talaga ung spindle na?

[carlogt]

Bro any recommendations na autoshops na may machine shop na & wheel alignment? preferably makati, taguig, pasig area? ung mga goodyear servitek ba ok dun? or mahal??

Sir,

Mga 5T ginastos ko that time. Zafra LP ko pinagawa. May contact sila na machine shop and they did the alignment that time. AFAIK, there is no machine shop with alignment service. Try searching for a shop that does fabrication/modification. I am of the opinion that these shops have the necessary machines needed to fix your problem. I think we have a thread here at tsikot where the members have their rides serviced. Hope that could be of help to you.

PEACE !!!

Up ko lang ito.

Syuryuken, naayos mo na ba ang power steering mo?

Yun PS ko kasi mabigat pa rin. Naayos ko na ang pump. Bagong bearing, bagong shaft. Wala nang leaks. Kahapon pinalitan namin oil seal sa steering unit. Wala na ring leak. Drain ko din lahat ng oil tapos pinalitan ko ng bagong ATF (Castrol TQ-DIII --- Dexron III daw ito). Pero mabigat pa rin. Ano kaya problem nito?

[speedyfix]

check the power steering hose and/or the adjuster sa rack mismo.

check mo kung tama yung pressure ng fluid na galing sa pump. kahit palitan mo yung parts ng pump, kung busted na ito, ndi na ito magbibigay ng tamang pressure. yung pressure range pwede makita sa repair manual. now ur problem is kung papaano mo ito gagawin kasi meron special tools na ginagamit to check the pressure from the pump. mybe you ask the casa.

another option to check kung pump pa din ang problem is to install a spare pump na alam mong ayos. or to go to surplus shop. kontartahin mo na lang yung tao dun at sabihin mo ndi ka kasi sure kung pump ang problem so you need a spare pump to test. kung nagkaroon ng power assist using the surplus pump, bilihin mo na. kung ndi naman, wag mo bilihin kasi ndi pump ang problem. bigyan mo na lang konting pera yung tao for the abala :D

kung sure ka na ndi pump ang problem, you'll have to look at the steering gearbox assembly. mas complicated ito compared sa pump.

[sirmykel]

up ko lang...

observation ko guys using an ATF Dextron III fluid, matigas talaga yung feeling ng manibela ko.
pero nung nagpapalit ako ng Power Steering Fluid mismo (STP ginamit ko galing carshow dun sa MOA) nagiba yung feeling ko, gumaan sya at nawala ugong.

[Hibiki]

Salamat sa replies. Subukan ko muna ang cheapest option. Palitan ko ang Castrol TQ-DIII --- Dexron III with Dexron II or Besco ATF or any ATF. Check ko kung lalambot.
