Pa add din mga sir tsikot..tsek modin oil gauge kung bumaba sa deep stick nya. kung hindi naman baka nga natuluan o awas lang yaan siguro. tsek mo nga din yung tagas kung langis ba o fluid. pag langis iba pakiramdam at pag fluid iba din e. kung patuloy na nag li leak look for better mechanic yung dika niloloko.

Pahabol question mga sirs, after ba mapalitan/magawa yung rack and pinion eigther by kit or replacement ng buong assembly ay "need" to wheel align din. In case ipagawa nlang sa mechanic on the road. mas mura kasi sila sumingil eh.

Yes, kailangan.

Having mine fixed na finally this week. Sasabay ko na sa hilamos.hehe

Hindi ko pa sure kung ano gagawin ng mekaniko but from his observation (i.e. leak only occurs when the car is lifted) ay repair kit lang daw yun. Costs would be around 5k.

Hindi kasi malalaman until mababa ung assembly eh.

Anyway share ko lang din, yung other mechanic was also able to find a taiwan replacement. 25k! Wow! But then come to think of it, i have an office mate who has his mercedes rack and pinion assembly (orig) quoted for 107k. Deym!

^ We just had the rack and pinion overhauled in our 1994 Galant V6 before. Came out fine. Cruven did the job if i recall correctly.

Magkano inabot mo vinj? Sobrang lapit ko lng sa cruven fairview. As in kayang lakarin. I'm thinking of getting polyurethane byshings nga sa kanila eh. :D

napakabit mo na yung taiwan replacement rack and pinion?

i had an experience before with my previous ride na nagkaron ng leak ang rack and pinion, had it checked, and nakitang taiwan lang yung nakakabit, nagtanong ako ng original seals for the said assembly, meron, pero hindi swak, wala pala ako makikitaan ng replacement seal para dun. so nagsurplus nalang ako, nakakuha ako, i ask if they are willing to trade my taiwan r&p for a discount sa surplus. ayaw nila, andami daw nilang ganun, naktengga lang sa kanila. mahirapan din daw sila makakuha ng repair kit sa mga taiwan r&p and hindi nila mabenta din.

**mark1985** · January 27th, 2014 02:25 PM

Ayun ibinababa pa ngayon bro. I'm betting na repair kit lang ang kelangan since kakapiranggot lang na leak ang meron. But i'm keeping my fingers crossed.hehe

So hindi pala advisable ang taiwan replacement pala because of fitting issues? I guess orig surplus is the way to go if ever kelangan palitan na ang assembly.
