Hard Steering, Whats Indeed The Problem?

[vcool]

hi guys,

i got a r32 gtst ,recently got few niggy problems,

#1 , when driving low rpm, under 2000 , blow 20 ks, on corners, very hard. if on high rpm,above 5000, over 60ks, everything is fine. found out a bit wrong with rack, but not 100% sure if it is the pump or rack. something leaking underneath, any same exprience before guys?

#2 , probably caused by problem 1, when lose accelerator pedal while driving (few times), or most of the times from high speed to low, rpm just decreased to 0 and sits there for 2 sec then dies unless push back pedal. its very annoying and im not sure whats the problem.

car pretty much standard, just turbo back exhaust and turboX bov, air filter. thats all. any suggestions>? cheers

so there is a leak?

if so where is it? and what colour is the fluid?

if its the PS pump there's a place in marrickville i think that does reco's shouldnt cost any more that $150 to fix

hmmm sounds like a pain in the arse problem..

um check ur seals on ur rack if they are leaking or ur power steering pump seals from the lines etc

only thing i know about werid heavy steering was with my speedo my power steering cut out and my speedo stoped working ..

fixed speedo power steering returned. but good luck if nothing i said helped O.o

thanks very much guys, i asked mech to check it out, but he only told me that there is something wrong with rack, i need to get it replaced or reconditioned, but said nothing about the pump. i need to ask to check it again if it is really the problem.

but what's wrong with da cut off thing? it's not happen every time unless i drive it a bit harder, but nothing too hard, normally it will back to 800-1000, otherwise it will die after 2 seconds stops at 0.
