Steering Problem

[Jap_star]

Heres a bit of information i need some help with asap

Steering is heavy at low speed <60ks and still feels off and vauge throughout all speeds

All started when the PS pump was replaced, since then i have checked of replaced

PS Pump reconditioned, PS rack, Hicas ecu, wheel alignment x2,

Its been looked at by 3 places now all with no answers. One was a 'power steering specialist', another by a general workshop and lastly an 'Import specialist"

* HICAS was locked out when i purchased the car in NOV 2010 and has never given me grief

all problems started when i picked up the car from having the pump fitted

the car requires more steering input / lock to do the same job as other friends r33s, or any other car in general,

any ideas throw them out as im stuck and sick of spending money for nothing

thanks

the reservior lines were also changed at the same time to high pressure lines from pirtek

Not sure if it needs to be done at all, but did you bleed the powersteering system? Did the hose's go in the correct positions?

[Jap_star]

Yes.it self bleeding by going left to right but to make sure lines were cracked from the rack

Have you looked at the torsion bar between the rack and steering coloum. That tells the rack how fast to move left and right depending on how much turn force is applied. That is where the 2 power steering lines go through from the pump.

Or have you tried putting the old pump back in seeming as the problem started then. It also sounds like when the pump veins have been cooked. Raise the front of car and undo the tie rod ends and see if there is any binding when turning wheels by hand. Could have stiff ball joints. Hope this helps

u can adjust them, theres an 14 mm on the front side of the rack, crak that, and use a screwdrider to adjust, similar to adjusting a steering box
