Help power steering oil seal blowing.

[calaguian4]

Patulong po, I already had my toyota corolla lovelife power steering repaired twice within a month. The problem is putok yun oil seal ng power steering.

I encountered na problem when im about to park.

Bakit po kaya pumuputok yun oil seals. Is this due to poor workmanship or di maganda quality ng repair kit.

I would also like to ask reliable shop near antipolo rizal na pwede ko mapagawaan.

Thanks I really need help.

How full is your reservoir?

[calaguian4]

Sir the reservoir is full and the system has no leak kasi kakapagawa lang po mga about 2weeks ago kasi pumutok din sya last time. Medyo puzzled lang ako bakit pumutok yun oil seals and dalawang beses na nangyari saakin.

tumataas talaga ang hydraulic pressure sa power steering system lalo na kung full turns at parking speeds at automatic ang sasakyan

diko rin masasabi kung ano problema jan pero hula ko e:
1. maluwag na siguro ang clearance para sa mga seals
2. hindi nagoopen yung "relief valve" sa pump o may problema sa flow control valve
3. mahina kapit ng oil seal
4. barado system dahil sa dumi
5. marami pa.......

simulan mo na lang troubleshooting mo with the easiest which is the fluid, belt tension, etc.

Sir miked thanks for the response. Posible po ba maayos in case maluwag ang seal pag ipapachrome plate yun steering column.

Tapos po sa relief valve, meron po ba yun toyota corolla lovelife na steering pump na ganito. In case its not functioning meron din po ba repair kit para dito.

Hanggang ngayon meron leak pa din ilan beses na binaklas. How much po kaya ang brand new at surplus na rack and pinion assembly and san po mura bumili. Baka ayun nalng ang solusyon.

Thanks po.

power steering of both bigbody and lovelife are sabihin na nating weak points ng corolla of that generation.

first, use only OEM seals for your power steering assembly, more often than not,
mas malaki chance na pumutok agad pag replacement seals lang.

second, try mong psf lang ang gamitin kung atf ang nilalagay mo.

third, pwede kasing naupod na yung shaft of may mga scuff marks na
kaya kahit bagong seal lagay mo, lulusot at lulusot na yung fluid.

ganito din ang naging problem ng previous car ko,
ang options na binigay sakin:

*bili bagong shaft - merong brand new shaft, pero napakamahal, around 14-15k ata for the shaft only
*had the shaft plated din - i dunno how this is done pero parang ayaw ko.
*overhaul ng rack and pinion ulit, but now, babawasan na yung oil seal spring para mas yumakap sa shaft
*bili ng rack and pinion surplus.

so i picked the third option, had it replaced with a surplus rack and pinion. up until nabenta ko sya, wala na problema.

[calaguian4]

San ka po nakabili ng surplus and how much po. Mukhang that is the best option hassle kasi pag pumutok. Ngaoyon meron parin leak kahit kakaayos lang naasar na ako ibalik kasi for sure same lang ang results. Also considering the plating pero just in case ma medyo mahal din over all na magagastos baka dun nlng talaga ako sa surplus pagipinan ko nalang.

Thanks

[7138]

sa banawe ako sir nagpagawa noon kaya madali lang makahanap ng surplus rack and pinion,
ako pa nga mamimili dun sa mga surplus nila kung ano ikakabit.

hindi ko lang sir alam sa area mo.

para mapamura ka sir sa surplus, tanong mo kung pwede i-trade mo nalang yung luma
mong rack and pinion. sakin kasi pumayag sila since toyota din naman yung r&p ko.

[calaguian4]

Around how much nagastos po sir.

[7138]

errr.... around 6-8k ata yun, for the surplus rack and pinion.
hindi pa kasama yung labor nun sa pagbaba at pagbalik. year 2011 pa yun btw.

[calaguian4]

Thanks sir

any recommended shop for power steering leak?

any recommended shop for power steering leak?

My power steering was leaking at the sealing right side.
I try out this stuff and it works:
Auto Parts Power Steering Repair Additives ,overhaul Rack & Pinion - Offered Philippines - 37076314
I know that stuff from the U.K. Forum and that guys told me it would help for beginning leaks, is the rack and pinion complete worn out it helps not.
I have nothing todo with that guys, i can only say that they asked me about my problem to make shure that this fluid will help.
And it helped for my problem.
The steering is smother and softer since i use it.
You can order it in ebay U.K, for less than half include shipping, needs only 2-4 weeks for shipping.
When you have time you can safe a lot money.
Search in eby U.K. for "Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak"andyou will find a lot offers.

Hello ask ko lang po ok ba ung lucas power steering leak sa honda civic 2004? May leak na din kasi power steering namin and we have relatives in US that can buy this lucas oil, is it worth it? Thanks po!

for its price and convenience, it worth the try but no guarantees. power steering hoses leak sometimes after five years. if you use other than honda/acura compatible power steering fluid, it will leak in a matter of week/s. if the power steering is left with so much load, e.g., staying too long on an extreme hard turn when you can hear the power steering load up repeatedly shortens the life of the power steering system

nope! do it the right way, OEM repair kit.

TS, just a thought nagpalit ka na rin ba ng feeder hose? baka hinde original or mali yun size kaya hirap yun pump then since meron pressure ang bumibigay eh yun seal

*shadow, thank you!
