Power Steering Problem

**lancelot** · January 12th, 2003 07:30 PM

OTEP, Afrasay,

I had my gen2 pajero checked and sabi nila toyota raw yun gearbox ko.

I think because I bought it in subic medyo may problem yata yun conversion.

I am planning to buy an original gearbox for my gen 2 para lumambot na yun steering problem.

But problem is where can I have it installed.

Takot ko kasi baka same problem din when pinalitan, Diba may alignment of some sorts yan. Help naman on reputable talyers or if you have nay experience on this matter, share naman.

Thanks a lot :lol:

lancelot:::I will answer for otep and I. May nagpa-overhaul ng PS system ng J-top (makinis ah) Gen2 yesterday. It turn out na Toyota ang gearbox, maybe it's from a cruiser, a hi-lux or a hi-ace. medyo (medyo lang) nahirapan alisin as in maraming tatangalin especially the screws. Another problem is the pitman arm and steering crossjoint which is welded to conform with the toyota gearbox. The main problem is when the pitman arm breaksdown. You have to cut the new arm taking out the mitsu side and weld it to the toyota gearbox side. The most dangerous part is the steering rod which is wleded to the crossjoint. I would think twice of taking this baby off the road.

Tama, si Alfred na dapat ang sasagot. Wala akong alam sa mga ganyan, eh. I leave that to the power steering god.

Bakit kaya ang hilig lagyan ng Toyota gearbox ang mga Mitsubishi conversions?

alfred,

parang gusto kung patingnan yung clunking sound ng genI ko sa cousin mong si Ferdie.

otomatic:::malapit lang siya sa inyo.

Afrasay,

So is it safe to say that kung papalitan ko yun gearbox pati na rin yun pitman arm and cross joint na rin?

Technically kung pinalitan ko ba lahat ng ito, safer na siya?

Medyo nagsisi nga ako sa nakuha ko sa subic. With my other friends wala naman ganitong problem. Pero I heard that almost all are toyota gearbox eh.

Thanks a lot... I will try to call your cousin and have it checked sa talyer niya.
:wink:

OTEP: Thanks na rin...

Safety will still largely depend on the quality of the instillation.

Lancelot,

Pagka nakagawa ka ng paraan like replacing the gearbox with an original one paki-post mo naman sa board o. Ako yung nightmare J-Top sa taas. Maganda naman yung sasakyan, puwera lang talaga yung steering rod na pinalitan ng dulo, saka pitman arm na pinalitan ng dulo (para kumabit dun sa Toyota gearbox). Medyo matigas steering (I don't know why though. I was expecting it would be even lighter with the huge gearbox pero hindi. Tumagas yung oil seals nung gearbox and I had it repaired by Ferdie. (BTW magaling si Ferdie sa steering box repair).

Yung pitman arm mukhang okey pa at makapal-kapal yung bakal pero yung pagpalit ng dulo ng steering rod is like gluing two pieces of toothpicks together. Kung inoff-road baka bumigay talaga.

Keep us informed about your progress. I'm especially interested dahil ang hirap talaga magdala ng sasakyan pag palagi kang nag-aalala. Saka gusto ko gumaan itong steering ko. Thanks!

Pajero Freak,

Yun steering ko naman tumitigas when parking only. Tingin ko hindi aligned yun pag convert.

Pero nevertheless as what Afrasay and OTEP said Safety first...

Plano ko nga palitan yun gearbox and everything para maging true left hand na sya, wala nang welding.

Ang tanong ko lang kay PSG is this possible?

Also I have to check out all costs and see if it is indeed feasible.

Si Afrasay [size=18]PSG[/size] na :?:

Punta din ako sa pinsan nya na si Ferdie bukas ng AM para maayos na din
problema ko sa PS ko. Hopefully naman ay hindi Toyota ang gerbox ko dahil orig na left hand drive ang gen 1 ko. :mrgreen:
