Power Steering Heavy At Low Speeds?

[skeg_man]

Hey All,

Tried to do a search but came up with nothing. I think the second you put power steering in the search, all the HICAS threads pop up. Anyways back to the problem. Recently when i've been stopping at lights or going a slow speed. The car tends to pull a fair bit to the left. Also it seems the be a bit harder on the right turning at slow speeds. I jumped under the car to check it out and I can see a leak in the rack on the drivers side. Could this very much be the problem?

Any help would be great. Please excuse me if it comes across a little simple, i've had a long day.

Cheers all in advance

wellll if its leaking when it shouldnt be, then the next step is to fix it?

[skeg_man]

Lol. Too true and I will be this w/e but I was just curious if that would be the reason why I have the issues?!!?!

check fluid level and tyre pressures first thing

[skeg_man]

Fluid level has dropped a little. Not heaps. Thought it was the tyre pressure and I checked it too. Was fine. I think ill just fix the damn leak. lol.

is ur rack boot split?

[skeg_man]

Good question.... Not sure. Haven't checked it yet. Heaps of brake fluid over it tho.

Have you checked your tyre pressures?

err...

Hmm well I didn't read the op fully, just got to pulling to the left. My car pulls to the left a bit if the tyres aren't all right so yeah... carry on...

exact same thing happens to mine, would like to know the outcome of you fixing the leak

[skeg_man]

Ill keep you guys posted. Gonna do it this w/e. Looks like the leak is coming from one of the banjo bolts near the rack......
