Power stearing problems
Discussion
Everytime i come to a corner i never know if the power stearing is gonna work or not, somtimes its normal then other times its really heavy to turn or it does not correct its seft after a corner,cant see it being the pump of rack as this would surly just pack in and that be it but it can work sum times. anyone had this problem before?
Sounds like the UJ's on the column might be starting to seize.
Jack the front of the car up and turn the wheel from lock to lock slowly.
You will find a tight spot or two if either of the UJ's are knackered.
One is just behind the front wheel in the arch.(especially positioned to collect road grime) The second is just near the rack input bearing.
Cheap to replace around £40 or so each. Smother in grease once fitted. Better still fit a rubber gaiter when you replace the UJ.
Cheers.
