rack and pinion leak (power steering)

[fourtheboys96]

sabihin ko nga dun sa mekaniko na check niya yung ginawa niya.

provide ko na lang siya ng illustrations. kung may time lang ako, ako na tumira nun eh :D

kaso nagkawork ako :D

patangal m un steerng hose outlet side sa pagstart m pa lng mkkta mo na kung mlakas ang presure plbas ng fluid, pag ala presure pump ang prblema kung mron may nkligtaan mlamang mekaniko mo s pggawa nyan sir

[fourtheboys96]

finally!!! ayos na power steering ng kotse.

dinala ko sa mekaniko ng kapitbahay namin at after niya ibaba at ikabit ng tatlong beses, eh naayos nman niya.

ang problema is yung bearing na may pin kung san nakasuksok yung pinion.

so ok ang pump, no leaks (as of now hehehe) and meron na power assist yung manibela.

sabi nung mekaniko, master na daw niya yung power steering sa kakaisip kung anu gagawin. binigyan ko kasi siya ng repair guide complete with illustration at instruction. kahit anong sunod niya ndi daw maayos nung una hanggang sa naayos niya rin :D

fourtheboys, san mo pinagawa yung kotse mo and saan yung carpower shop where you bought your repair kit?

i have the same problem with my 04 accord. grabe maubos yung ps fluid dun sa reservoir and may tulo talaga. nung pina-check ko sa mga apat na talyer sabi nila lahat rack and pinion daw sira at kailangan daw ng repair kit. naghanap ako ng repair kit sa banawe at wala pa daw sila nung ganung model. sa honda costs 14k. sakit sa bulsa and i can't afford that right now.

kaya kaya nung mekaniko mo ito? or kaya kaya ni speedyfix? thanks.

[speedyfix]

should be easy pero i would only suggest getting an oem repair kit for the car. yun lang yung tested namin na matibay. then you have to check also kung may kain na yung shafting or not. carefull din while the rack is removed or else you might brake the ribbon of the airbag...

[robbythor]

thanks, speedyfix.

i don't know how to check the shafting so I'll just leave it to you guys when I bring it there. Mag-iipon muna ako for the repair kit. medyo masakit sa bulsa presyo nun. maghahanap din ako kung san meron ng OEM. thanks, pre.

carpower is in pasay rotonda (that's what they call that area in pasay).

dito ko din lang nalaman yang carpower na yan. search mo sa net yung telephone number para tawag ka muna sa kanila.

dito kasi ako sa laguna kaya taga dito din yung mekaniko. mas convenient kasi malapit although sometimes i have to provide them with some instructions and illustrations para tama yung trabaho.

kung sa metro manila ka, try mo yung speedy fix. search mo yung thread about the shop para sa background info at feedback about speedyfix.

[robbythor]

thanks, sir. i appreciate it.

[speedyfix]

good idea to save up for the oem kit

I had same problem with my hyundai grace van, just want to know how much will cost for a surplus or a brand new rack & pinion.

[Onynz]

Magkano kya surplus na rack and pinion for toyota corolla 93?

[speedyfix]

normally surplus racks range from 15-20k. excluding labor and psf.

Magkano kya surplus na rack and pinion for toyota corolla 93?

inspect mo muna yung rack and pinion mo before thinking of buying a surplus.

yung internals naman ng valve body bihira masira. yung rack (shaft) ang dapat in good condition meaning walang deep scratches or scores. and keep in mind na meron part ng shaft na meron talagang scratch marks due to contact with the rack guide. ok lang ito basta makinis pa din yung part ng shaft na in contact with the oil seal.

yung 15-20K whole power steering assemble na yun siguro na surplus.

kung steering rack lang, less syempre.

makikisingit na rin.. hindi ko alam kung san ung sira eh. basta may tagas kasi ung power steering sa may fittings ata un. tapos ung manibela kasi parang iba, mabigat tapos magaan habang iniikot mo. parang may oblong o liko kung san man. sabi kasi nung pinagtanungan ko sa shell dahil lang daw sa leak un. sabi naman ng isang shop dito baka daw may liko nga. ung repaik kit daw 3,500 tapos ung labor eh 3000. tama lang ba ung price na un incase tama nga siya sa hinala niya?

anyways papatignan ko muna ung sa fittings baka mas mura un. hehehe

salamat.

kotse nga pala is ek hatch.

[speedyfix]

if minsan mabigat and minsan ok yung feel ng power steering it may be a pump or pressure hose problem

Im having the same problem on a corolla 93. Zee recommends hard chroming to even out the rough but not so deep scratches on the shaft.

What do you think about hard chroming? Or should I save up for the surplus?

[speedyfix]

replace the whole one nalang imo. it'll save you time and money in the long run.

Hi Speedy,
I ended up having it resurfaced and then had the repair kit installed. I hope this holds up.

Btw, what brand of power steering anti leak fluid would you recommend? Cyclos any good?

[speedyfix]

don't use a stop leak product if you're already overhauled the rack. just use the correct psf for your car.
