Basically, power steering is not working properly and making my car very unpredictable when driving.

It seems to have a mind of its own, most of the time its smooth and feels great but on the odd occasion, sometimes more on often on certain days it becomes very stiff and jerky, making turns very uncomfortable. When stiff and jerky it tends to want to steer in anti-clockwise direction - to the left.

Any one experienced this problem?

any help appreciated cheers.

Hey bud,

I had a recent problem with my R32.. the steering would jerk and the hicas light would flash.. it turned out that my grounding in the car had started to rust and the power steering circuit wasn't getting enough voltage. So, if you haven't already.. check your grounding points, should be right next to battery and onto the chassis.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

D.

yeah my hicas warning light is driving me insane... also have installed a lock bar and just looped the lines at the back where the hicas bar used to sit.

I'll have a look if theres any rust in my grounding point, thanks dnissan.

Might also have a look into the steering box thanks also htial.

any more suggestions?

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
