before namin pinaayos yung leak sa rack and pinion ayos pa yung pump. so, as speedyfix said sa isang thred ko, the problem is most probably dun sa pinalitan ng o rings and oils seal. unless sira na talaga ang pump

1 week na yung kotse kasi sabi ko sa mekaniko wag nya madaliin at try ayusin ng maiigi.

Ah ok. I was thinking kasi of the PS pump itself, alam ko kasi walang oilseal dun.

can a defective main pressure hose cause hard steering? i had my rack end seal and o-ring replaced to get rid of leaking fluid from the steering rack.

the leak is gone so is the power assist . very hard steering siya. i returned the car to the mechanic. its been with him for a week na

Kung talagang matigas ang steering, malamang may tama na nga yung PS pump, and not the pressure hose itself.

Yung Sentra ko, more than 1 month na walang PS fluid, kaya umuugong. I was a newbie then sa sasakyan, kaya didn't bother to check it. When I had it repaired, kasi annoying na yung sound, that's when the mechanic said na may tagas yung hose, kaya naubos yung PS fluid. Pero hindi naman nasira yung PS pump.

sana naman ndi sira ang PS pump.

siguro kelngan na palitan yung buong kotse hehehe. ibang klase din eh. alam niya kung may pera yung may ari. dun siya nasisira. buti na lang yung misis ko ang may ari :D

besides using a specialized pressure reader, meron pa bang ibang paraan para malaman kung sira na ang PS pump? ang naisip ko lang kasi is punta sa surplusan then kabit ng surplus to see kung meron pagbabago.

pero tulad nga ng sinabi ko, ayos pa yung PS pump before the rack end seal was replaced so i still have doubt kung PS pump nga ang problema.

ah e si misis naman pala may ari ng shop. pero 1 week is way too long for me para pagawa ng powersteering.

yan na lang ang sure fire way para malaman mo kung ps pump nga ang sira. hiram ka muna ng ps pump sabay salpak then check to see kung lalambot na or nde pa rin. hehe!

sir dencio, yung kotse po ang kay misis :D

yung shop ay yung kapatid ng ninang namin ang may ari. yung kotse dati sila ang may ari.

nway, about the PS pump, i am planning to do the same thing but the problem is wala ako extra pump. balak ko punta sa evangelista then ask around and negotiate for a testing. kung ok pa yung pump ko, bigyan ko na lang ng tip for the abala.

or if i can find a shop who has this specialized tool na makaka measure ng pressure ng pump, i can probably go there to see if the pump needs to be replaced.

mejo gipit kasi ako sa oras dahil dito ako sa laguna and i have full-time work. ndi ako bossing :D

Kalokohan na iyang Php53k. The Volvo here also had a rack and pinion leak. Php16k to repair by Gruppo Talyer (the third party Volvo specialist). Home service pa iyan at that rate.

Thank you sa replies....kinuha ko na sa casa yung kotse and they recommended nga na palitan na yung buong rack and pinion assembly if not, may tatagas pa rin. And i noticed nga na bumababa pa rin yung power steering reservoir ko ng pakonti-konti pero di na kasing grabe dati na halos maubos na yung laman...Naiinis pa ko kasi nagkaroon ng kalampag ang steering wheel ko kapag nalulubak, dati naman wala. Ibinalik ko sa casa for back job dahil naiirita talaga ako sa kalampag, pero di nila mahanap kung saan yun. Binuksan lang nila is yung sa may air bag. Tingin ko meron lang nagloose dun sa loob and di maganda pagkakabalik nila sa steering. Ano kaya yun? and why nagka-kalampag? tinatamad na kasi ako ibalik sa toyota yung kotse dahil ang tagal tagal gumawa and kailangan ko talaga yung kotse dahil sa work ko...do you guys know kung saan pala may nagbebenta dito ng Lucas Power Steering Stop LeaK? I saw kasi sa internet and okay daw gamitin yun dahil nakakawala ng leak...salamaT

yung power steering stop leak is only applicable when your gaskets are already brittle (which makes you loose PS fluid slowly). it reconditions again the gaskets so that it would not too hard.

Up ko lang thread na to.

Ung power steering ko matagal nang matigas pag mag turn left. Okay naman pag turn right.

After driving for 150km straight nag leak sya. Pinashop ko tapos bumili sila ng Power steering repair kit at na fix na ang leak. Pero matigas pa rin ung left.

Sabi ng shop kailangan daw linisin ang power steering pump.

Sabi naman ng isang friend ko na may shop rin, wag daw galawin ung pump kasi okay naman ung steering kung lumiko sa right. Kung pump ang problem dapat matigas right man o left. Baka nasa packing ang problem.

Any advice guys?
