powersteer pump NF v6

Post by corkhead »

well did a trip up licola last weekend ..mates bucks show !

went with a whole heap of boys with new toys (mine was definately the oldest car by miles) although i did the whole trip in 2wd :) was more for camping then 4wding though.

Although those rocky, long, annoying, dusty roads take there toll.

After trip have :
leaking gearbox (have already got a new seal to put in)
warn powersteer pump (vibrates and groans a lot, on last legs)
sticking startermotor (been like it for a little while)
more squeeks and rattles


anyone had trouble with bigger tyres and powersteer ... this is now my second pump (although looked pretty warn when i put on from old motor) ?

and will by startermotor number 4 being put in soon :(


just enough time to have ready for the 21st :)

No I haven't had any drama's with the power steering pump.
I think they were beefed up a bit for the Gen 2 though.
Had it blow the relief a few times with the front Detroit when it didn't want to unlock for turns against obstacles.
I went for a trip to the High Country after Xmas for 5 days, it was very hot and dusty. We stopped after a steep climb to admire the view and it wouldn't restart (jammed solenoid) I let it roll foward a touch and then it started. I think the fine dust will get in particularly as they are a front facing starter.
I just luv my "clacker Jabber"

At the risk of insulting your intelligence, have you checked your fluid level? In my experience, low fluid makes the steering groan and shudder, particularly at low speeds.

Cheers,

Check the little radiator thing for the power steering. Its right up front and tends to get full of mud. Had mine shut down in the high country one time and this was the cause. Clearing that out should make a world of difference.
