Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys for the past few weeks my steering has become hard when turning at idle when turning to the right and since then has gotten that bad that l have to rev the GQ 4.2 petrol past 2,000rpm to turn the 33's, and yes the pump does sound noisey and l thought it could be burn't fluid but still the same....Any ideas guys would be appreciated...

Cheers Chris

sounds like your pump is shot.

The steering boxes are great on those things.

Get a reco pump and install it ya self its quite easy.

Prolly looking at at least $300

Ouch thats alot, seen some on ebay reco ones but none for patrols.

i have the same problem in my MK so i played round with the power steering pump
check this out very basic to do and it has seemed to help my steering check out the web site posted they give u a step by step guide
Hope this helps and hope i've posted this right. http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/phpBB2/vi ... p?t=130521

it isnt a cheap hpbby... price a new one from Nissan, $300 will be flyin over the counter pretty quick for the reco one I would suggest.

Well got my pump reco'd today for $187 as he said it was damaged which was causing low pressure at low rpm so now l will go out and fit the new pump, will let you know the results.

187 bucks seems reasonable, fingers crossed it works.

Guys steering pump is perfect and works like new and is super quite turning 33's at idle while the rig is stationary....
