HELP! Power Steering problem

[arkitek2]

Help!

just bought a 1st gen strada last march 15 pero nadiscover ko meron pala leak eto gear box sa power steering. yung pump rin meron humming sound at medyo mabigat iliko... sayang di ko na test drive at inspect ng maigi...

2 days ago naman natamaan yung tube kung saan dumadaan yung ATF kaya sumirit eto sa loob at ni repair eto....sana naman wala nasirang iba parts....

dinala ko sa 2 malapit mechanic para may 2nd opinion...sabi palitan na raw dapat ang pump ng surplus. (P2.5 to P4k) tapos overhaul daw yung gearbox para palitan daw ng oil seals kasi wala raw eto sira pag nde raw naglolock yung steering.

sa banawe naman puro replacement ang gusto tska nakita dun na may problema sa idler arm sa front right wheel ng pickup.


need your advice po. salamat sa inyong lahat.

Sa gearbox: kung surplus you have the chance na sira na rin yung mga seals so eventually tutulo yan. If you have the box overhauled (which I will do) bago lahat ng oil seals (price for this repair set will be less than 1.5K) sigurado ka na tatagal of course assuming magaling yung gagawa.
idler arm: mura lang yan, papalitan mo na.

I would check all the steering/underchassis parts if I were you and kung may budget para isang gawaan lang. Replace all worn out parts and do wheel balance, camber & wheel alignment.
