Buzzing Power Steering

**typhoon** · February 6th, 2006 06:01 PM

Ung sakin kase sa casa ko pina-overhaul. Cost me around 1.9K. Actually, a few days after ng overhaul, medyo bumalik ung humming sound so binalik ko sa kanila. Nilagyan lang nila ng grease ung steering column ata and it's been 1 week since, ok pa sya.

mazda,
humming pala, check fluid level or flush it and replace with a fresh fluid. you won't be able to remove all the old fluid without taking apart the gear box. HTH.

Kung namamawis [pawis only] and you can live with the buzz/humming, you can let it be na lang muna. Just watch your fluid level.

yes sir.

medyo naubusan na pala ng fluid yung power steering... nilagyan lang ng service advisor. from the outside, akala ko lang may fluid pa... pero nung binuksan eh wala na yung reservoir... stain lang pala nung fluid ang nakikita ko. lech!

eto ang estimate nila for a whole new set:

power steering assembly - P27K
rack & pinion set - P58K
labor - P2K

parang gusto kong himatayin nung narinig ko ang mga presyo. hehe.

based dun sa place ng leak... malamang daw may tama na rin yung rack & pinion.

so now, tsaga muna ako mag refill na lang ng power steering fluid. medyo malakas na rin ng konti ang tagas... mga siguro 1 teaspoon kapag overnight kong iniwan.

pwede rin kasi daw na gawin muna yung power steering using a repair kit. then kay cruven ko na lang ipagawa yung rack and pinion. though duda rin ako kung may tama yung power steering.

our sentra has the same problem too. sabi sa casa, it was replaced by the previous owner, but the diameter of the hose was smaller.

Pano naman nilang nalamang may 'tama' na ang rack and pinion. I drove home one of our vehicles with no PS fluid. Pinalitan ko lang yung hose, hanggang ngayon ok pa. Years ago pa yun.

Trace mo lang exactly where the leak is from and repair that area. No use going through the fuss of replacing the whole system unless you like burning money.
