Fucked ka24 cosair steering.
« on: Jan 21, 2011, 07:07PM »
Hey dudes........

Alright so for awhile now my car has clunked everytime turning a corner but now the car is super hard to steer all the time and when turning, the wheel doesn't steer back straight anyway the wheels stay turned and you have to turn back yourself...... What do you think it could be ?

Scratch all of this.... Aight soo.

It's either the rack or pump.

Personally I think it's the pump because it will be smooth steering about a quarter of a rotation this it will get stiff, than smooth for another quarter.

Could it possibly be the pump fucking up or the lines are getting clogged ? Something along those lines anyway.

Pull the belt off the PS pump and drive the car, if it feels like the way it does when its "fucking up", its your pump.

Ok guys so you's know I bought noss's old T.
Anyway I transferred his powersteering pump and rack into the corsair, now it steers like it should cept there is no steer back when you go around corners, you have to steer back manually, any ideas on what the problem is ?

Ok so, powersteering pump, rack and struts changed over. The steering is still a little bit stiff although every thing we did made it better and better. What else do you guys reckon could be making it stiff ? Cv's ? Tires ?

have you wheel aligned it yet.

that affects wheels returning to straight after cornering amongst other things, so stiffness too I'd imagine.

It's not that hard to do a reasonable job yourself for toe in (should get in within a mm or 2 of spec)

can even do camber - but  it's more complicated and you need new tyres

so anyway after changing the powersteering pump, rack, tie rod ends and front struts my steering has been perfect.

Well we should say HAD been perfect, this lasted about a month.

so i drove from inala to redbank (30 mins) and my car was great. now driving home, about 20 minutes through it was still perfect but the last 5 minutes of the drive when i entered inala was like my power steering just fucking vanished out of the blue and i nearly ended up running straight into the front end of a four wheel drive.

any one of you fanatics have a clue ? cheers....

Checked fluid levels? That would be first step.

Did you hear any noise when you lost power steering?

loss of power to the power steering, eg; the little valve that controls the amount of fluid the system is flowing. ??  :-\

This car is going to be the death of me.

We have changed everything from the front end of ryans T to my Corsair, steering rack, pump, drive shafts, tie rods, struts everything including the hd clutch and reco gearbox. Steering is still fucked, also since gearbox and clutch got changed the front end of the car now shutters on take off and makes fucking strange noises when driving slow and also reversing.

The fuck is going on guys ?

Considering putting it in the shop, really don't want to but I might have to.

When you put the box in did you swap mounts? or use the same mount? The gearbox mount might be shagged which causes the shutter on take off.

Its hard to know about the other noises without hearing them. Can you explain what the noise is like?

Bro I worked out the noises were only there on the first drive after changing boxes, and also worked out I have a power steering leak and also my wheel alignment is like this \   / obviously not that bad though I think there is other reasons

To finish this thread off, the problem was the uni joint ontop of the power steering rack, and as for the leak the steering rack from the T was leaking so I put my old one back it and wallah, everything is fixed, wheel alignment and I'm good to go.
