Hilux power steering problems
Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 7:33 am
hello,
I have got a problem with the power steering on the hilux which seems to lock up after a couple of minutes of working. The hilux is a single cab 4x4, v6 conversion, lifted and running 37" wheels. We have had the pump rebuilt, changed both oil lines, changed steering boxes. When the steering locks up with load on the wheels, you can jack up front end and steering seems to be correct again. We have checked rod ends, swivel hubs which all seem to be fine when there is no load on them. Front locking hubs were disengaged also.
Has anyone had a similar problem and if so, what could the fix be.
Thanks, John.
