Power Steering Problem

[lancelot]

I hope I can get advice concerning the power steering problem of my 96 Pajero Intrcooler, I guess you call it 2nd Gen? I bought it sa auction kasi, any suggestions?

Anyway, Problem is when driving medyo malambot yun power steering, pero when you park it especially parallel parking. Matigas masyado yun steering to the right. And parang wala nang power steering at all. Sobra tigas. Pro while driving no problemo naman. Compared to other pajeros my friends have mas mabigat yun sa akin.

Mechanics tell me na malapad daw yun gulong at 265/15. And they advise tooverhaul power steering.

Another told me to change the pump of the power steering.

Another told me to change the power steering gearbox para di na raw converted.

Any comments and advice?

lancelot,

For sure hindi dahil sa gulong iyan. My classmate's GEN II wears larger 32X12.5R15 Dunlop Grandtrek M/T's pero walang problema sa steering.

Kapag turning right lang siya mabigat?

Calling PSG (power steering god afrasay! Yohoo!) :mrgreen:

[lancelot]

OTEP,

When parking mas mabigat ng konti ang right compared to left.

Sa sobra bigat niya halos di kaya. Pero kung normal drive malambot naman pero compared to other 2nd gen's mas mabigat sya.

Thanks for the info concerning the Tires, at least one down...

Any advice on how to solve problem? Iba iba kasi yun opinion ng mga mechanics eh.

[afrasay]

Bleed. Then if problem still exist, check the conversion. Baka may sabit yan.

[lancelot]

Any suggestions on how to check the convertion.

Dinala ko na siya sa servitek, zafra, etc.

Pero wala naman sila sinabi. From the looks of it, di pa yata nila alam na converted pala.

Thanks :P

lancelot,

First and foremost avoid Zafra. Daming bad experiences ng mga tao dito regarding them and their various branches.

As per instruction of our power steering god afrasay, have it bled by a competent shop. Baka nga naman may hangin lang sa loob ng system mo.

[lancelot]

OTEP/AFRASAY,


Thanks, try ko this weekend. Inform you the progress.

Tama kanga regarding zafra. 3 Branches tinanungan ko, all 3 differennt diagnosis and different opions. Labo nga sobra.

Do you have any suggestions saan shop expert sa mga power steering? Help:lol:

[Ungas]

lancelot::: Did you happen to check on the power steering hose kung may leak? Do you always refill the power steering oil? You might also want to check baka po tukod na yung steering limit? (usually hex bolt po ito pwedeng i-adjust) :idea:

As to what sir afrasay pointed, baka nga may kabag yung mechanism.

[OTEP]

lancelot,

Yung cousin ni PSG afrasay mechanic ata. Baka matulungan ka niya. Sugurin mo na lang sa office si afrasay tapos ipagawa mo sa kanya. :mrgreen:

[Hero]

pwede bang ma adjust yung bigat at gaan ng power steering?

[afrasay]

My mechanic's address is 3516 J. Lukban St. Bo. Obrero, Manila. He's name is Ferdie. May nakita ako sa 4x4 magazine, they call it RAM system. Pinapalitan nila yun gear box and pump together with they tear drop fluid container. They say you can still turn tires in places (ea. between boulders), that your usual system can't.

[lancelot]

OTEP/AFRASAY,

Thanks for your advice...

UNGAS: I had the hoses checked wala naman leaks. Malinis. Tingin ko nga tama si afrasay sa convertion malamang.

Many were suggesting since it is converted palitan ko raw yun gearbox if bleeding fails. Nagtry nga ako maghanap sa atco lang meron.

What do you guys thinks.

Thanks :lol:

[afrasay]

Clean mo muna gear box. Dali lang yan ibaba. Good luck.

[lancelot]

Afrasay,

Do you mean pwede linisin and overhaul yun gearbox? Pasensy na for my ignorance regarding this issue :oops:

So do you suggest,ipa overhaul ko muna the whole power steering? Meaning ibleed then ibaba para malinis?

Thanks a lot

[OTEP]

lancelot,

Dapat mauna ang overhaul/cleaning bago ang bleeding if ever you are planning on doing an overhaul. Siyempre if you bleed tapos ibinaba mo, then you have to rebleed upon reinstillation. Basically ibababa ang gearbox and bubuksan to check and correct any problems.

[afrasay]

Pag ganyan ang ginawa mo, you might bleed to death.:mrgreen:

[hot&spicy]

lancelot, palagay ko si Joseph (multinational) lang ang katapat niyan.

[ARB]

try mo to rev a little when turning during parking, looks like kulang sa pressure.

[SIZE=2]Mga sir,

Patulong lang po. Last night as I was parking my car, I had difficulty in steering the wheel. Halos kapirasong kabig lang sa kanan o kaliwa eh parang nakasagad na... para bang nag-lock pero magaan pa din... yun nga lang hindi maikabig ng todo, parang few inches lang napipihit eh sagad na... i checked the fluid po eh okay naman pati yung belt... after several hours, biglang okay na ulit. ano po kayang possible na problem yun, and suggest naman po ng pwedeng gawin pag naulit... or suggest na din po ng PS specialist.

Salamat po ng madami!
