How To Tell If It Is The Steering Rack Gone Or The Power Steering Pump

[R34DeathStar]

Hi

Im going to play my blonde card because i keep getting told different things

I want to know whats the best way i can check myself if its the steering rack i need to replace in my R34 GTT skyline, or the power steering pump.

When she starts you can hear the rattle, especially turning, but its a constant background noise (and when your car is already deafening, the rattle really drives you up the wall)

Ive check the power steering fluid and that topped up to the max and is running fine.

She jutters a bit steering.

But id be really unhappy if i replace one and find out that wasnt what was causing it

Power steering pump is only $50 and easy to replace so i would definitely start with that first.

It was the pump, but then the one put in had a different pulley system and a few belts got replaced
