Power Steering Maintenance - fluid changed with pics

http://forums.trinituner.com/forums/vie ... p?t=100325

gonna be changing it on Elle using teh same procedure

*goes off to call rudman*

[QG]

yeah idle i thinking so as well....... the car always used to go dm before , it is only recently i started doing little things on my own...... might as well send it in to let them sort it out ........ and the plus in that is if it happens again after so called fixing it i could always carry it back and complain till they fix it....

i will scan the bill tom with the part #'s



ammmm about the noise it is just a tic tic tic i hearing from by the right wheel when i turn left ........... hopefully nothing bad ...... will let them loook at it tomorrow...

That tic tic tic sound when turning the wheel sounds like a bursted boot rubber (inner or outer boot by axle).
Turn your wheel to extreme left, go under the car by the wheel side and see if the boot rubber burst or any black gum on the inner rim or rubber.....check the right side wheel after (lock all to the right)....

Pass your hand around and at the back of the boot rubber as well and see if you feel any black goo or gum...if yes, the boot rubber is the cause of the clack clack clack sound when turning.

And look for visible damage on the boot rubber.

turbo_beast369, time was against us. We needed to get parts asap in San Fernando area.

The last pic shows my mud guard being damaged, and a bent fender as well
I will see about that another time, once the car is back on the road, that cool.
I never knew sourcing CS parts would be a bit hectic for foreign used

[idlemind]

QG how this happened?

SHO clear your Inbox so the message that sitting in my Outbox for months could get to you lol

[JUS4SHO]

done so many PM's just one me

[nes123]

Dollar Savers El Socoroo have KYB Gas Excel G for $500 per side(front)

[turbo_beast369]

QG where u got that cradle and what price...OEM??

and what about the shock....OEM as well or brand new substitute?

Boy them KYB substite CS shocks does ride rel hard.....

[QG]

idlemind, Nexen tyres is sheit, i mashed brakes and it skidded onto a pavement. (the disc pad almost depleted too, so ABS was not doing what it supposed to). Of course i was going a bit hard and mis-averaged a bit.


turbo_beast369, shocks and cradle were brand new OEM....I am shocked that most places in South don't have CS foreign used parts.
$500+ for shocks...$600 for cradle.

Fellas, becareful in buying them axle joint rubber for CS...check in the last two pics, you will see area by tranny...it uses a TRIPOD (3 grooves) and not a round rubber.
(Hope you all not confused about what I trying to explain).

[QG]

$50 for the tripod rubber for axle BTW.

[turbo_beast369]

QG wait wait where you buy them "OEM" shock and cradle from...them prices rel cheap if its genuine parts....where you bought them from?
