smudgedon Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Drift day ended early Steering is almost solid when on idle, put some revs through and the wheel is a lot easier to turn but makes a whining noise that raises and drops with the revs Power steering pump?

4RE Leather Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Turn the wheel full lock both sides half a dozen times. If there is any air in the system this could sort it out. Last Saturday night mine went solid where it had been standing out in the cold. It soon work it'self free. I assume you have done the obvious and checked your level? Any drips under the car where she been standing etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgedon Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 Can you have a listen with some one else sitting in the car? Ye it's a noticeable whine from the ps pump area, I'm assuming it's busted and putting strain on the pulleys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
