ok the other day i bust the inner cv on me saff at the same time my p.a.s pump went for a shit too,removing the pump i snapped the banjo pipe , went and fetched new pipe and pump fitted 'em and topped up fluid but now when i turn left the wheels "twitch" Only when i turn left it even does it on the spot even with the wheels in the air

any ideas?

 

C'mon lads some one must have an idea

 

how you mean "twitch"

do you mean when you apply left lock, and hold it without moving it, its trying to pull the wheels back right and the steering wheel feels like its bouncing?

if so - theres air in there still

 

hard to explain really its not tryng to pull the wheel back to centre
is there like some bleed nipple i dont know about - whats the proper procedure for bleeding P.A.S

 

it wont try to pull the wheels abck to center - it just feels bouncy

jack the car up at the front so both wheels are off the ground, take the cap off the PAS tank, and then turn the wheel lock to lock 5 times - holding it at each far lock for a few seconds each time so that the pump is working hard

check the level, and top up as required - do this untill all air is expelled

 

done that could it be a fault with the rack as i did drive about 3/4 of a mile with no fuid in it

it does bounce like fcuk when i turn left but right its perfect

 

best be trying a new rack then

 

don't wanna throw a rack/more money at it unless i know or am at least half sure thats the problem

 

well its either the rack or the pump - either way, you ran the rack and pump with no oil, so its likely to have caused damage - the pump needs the oil to keep its bearings lubricated and the rack needs it for that reason too

funnily enough i have 2 spares

 

bet you live miles from me though I,m near notts

 

80 miles from my house to donnington race track

notts aint that far.

and my racks are just that - spares.................for mine as i know mine will need it doing soon

 

So you have changed the pump already? was it a new one? If so chances are you've wrecked the rack....

Who did you bust the cv and pump at the same time?

 

bugger so your just teasing then

 

DEAN SAFF god knows how i bust both at once just my luck i guess
