Right i had to use my MX5 tonight and found the power steering on this to be light and easy to turn when doing a parrelel park...
i then got back in the REX and found the steering to be alot tighter, suppose it even feels a bit like an old car with no power steering ???
is this normal ?? if not what can i check to see if anything is right/wrong ??
maybe the fluids running low bud, does it make a whinney noise when you turn the wheel?
TBH i cant remeber !! i will check this in the morning if it is low is it just top up ??? anything else i need to do !
The rex probably has a larger pully :)
so will be stiffer to turn ???
Absolutely, pully size can make alot of difference. I\'d be surprised if both cars used identical steering setups.
ahh cool :)
if the fluid is low what could be the cause of this ?? leak maybe
A small leak is possible, PS fluid doesn\'t usually go off wondering too much though :)
power steering fluid goes old,
take some out of the resovior and have a look, if its all burnt and black then it needs changing, if its red still and smells a bit eggy then its prolly due to pulley size etc.
remember that you get better steering feel when you dont have powersteering.
Mine feels pretty heavy at low speeds, I always put it down to the tyre width (much wider than an MX5!)
yeah i was thinking that :D :D
