Dude! I've been fighting my steering wheel for like a year thinking it was the electronic assist or rack that I couldn't afford to fix. I just sprayed some firearms lubricant on it and it worked. Thanks for the video.
I'm having the same issue, literally just today finally replaced the power steering pump because every valve in it was stuck, and it's still not working right, my mechanic (who's opinion I actually trust, he's a family friend) told me to start saving my money because I probably fried my rack from going so long without fixing it
Great video! My 2012 f150 has 284,000 miles and this is the first time I’ve ever had a problem with the steering! First thing I tried to do was check the fluid. Well after I couldn’t find a reservoir I hopped on TH-cam and found your video! Perfect fix! Thanks again!
Hey thanks for the video. I replaced my intermediate steering shaft (2011 F150) but after driving it 15-20 min. and thinking all is good, turns out it is still binding. Any ideas? Does it need an alignment? Possibly reprogramming as they do with the rack and pinion? Thanks
Hey Tim, I replaced the ps pump on my 01 F350, V10, AT. We bled the air and it seemed to work fine UNTIL WE SET IT ON THE GROUND. Then? Total STIFF WHEEL W/O ANY ASSIST at all. Any idea what it could be? Maybe a bad NEW PUMP? I'm scratching my head
I have ford f150 2017. My power steering does not work, the OBD gives an error UO131, I checked the fuse and it is working, but I don’t know where to go next. Before that, there was an error with the RL Wheel speed sensor ABS, and I replaced it, the ABS error went away, but the problem with the power steering is still not solved.
Hey so when im down the road the wheel floats back and forth has a 2 inch play truns to easy in the wheel ,but stopped and or trying to do a u turn it takes everything in me to turn it u turn turns into a 9 pount turn I have a 2007 f350 any help to why this is please help I have sway arms upper and lower balls replaced steering box new i dont understand 😢
I have almost the same problem with my 2016 dodge ram but mine seems to be Affected by the cold weather and I get no power steering is that the rack that needs to be replaced?
Could be. Or pump. There may be some cold weather fluid you can try that could help with the issue. Check into that. GM sells a cold weather PS fluid for their systems. I try to use it in any of the systems i service.
My issue my 11 F150 XLT steering wheel does not turn but I can start the truck.. a couple of days if I let it sit for 10 or 15 mins all was good. Turn the ignition off and on a few times and was good to go all day . Now no active steering. Cant even turn the wheels. God what would happen on the road… I went back and forth say 50 ft No control…
What happened to the owner of a vehicle looking over the car once a month, we all know what rust looks like lol. When used a motorbike to get me to work, i checked it every week end. It never hurts just to have a look around before storing the machine.
Nobodys got time for that! Haha. Actually this truck had spent much of its life on a remote island far from any real service facilities. Probably not in bad shape considering where its seen use. That said, its a pretty common issue even for daily drivers. Things certainly aren’t the way they used to be.
I actually get my parts at a Indianapolis Indiana salvage yard..mostly 4L60 E GM TRANSMISSION as am a online transmission student and am a @hole too Lol

I have the same problem but with a warning light on my dashboard it says advanced track service Did you have any warning lights
This turned out to be my problem, thanks for saving me time and $$$.
Light flickering on screen because it’s an LED light. Screen recording picks it up . Thanks for the video! Super helpful!
Nice to see you working in the new shop!
I have to pinch myself every time i walk into the place. What a blessing. Have a nice evening James
I will echo the other people. Your video, particularly to lubricate the U joints, worked for my problem, for now.
Thank you!!
Thanks for the tip..lubed it up and turns perfectly now.. I appreciate your help!!

Yep no fluid all electric
Gotta say living in the middle of no where has got it's perks. Beautiful location.
Long time coming Tim. Glad to see you're back on TH-cam . Thanks for sharing
Thanks. Not sure why ive been slacking so hard. Oh well. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
Thanks I just got the compliant yesterday from my other half on my f150

Thanks, Tim. I will be checking this first!
Good to see you back on your videos
Ill try not to be such a stranger!
Trying this on my f150 tomorrow ! Steering is shot has my arms like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Great video. I can now fix my brothers truck tomorrow.
Love that Kroil Tim, for busting loose corroded stuck bolts. Good stuff. I bet it's good for lubricating steering sectors too.
Seemed to work like a charm. I like the kroil because its fumes dont give me a headache on top of it being an excellent penetrating oil.
@@ThecardoctorTV Get PB on your hands and your hands stink for three days.
That did the trick🎉🎉🎉, your awesome my friend 👍🏽👍🏽
hello from connecticut🙋🏻♂️
Greetings!
Panther pee works wonders to free up that rusty joint. Good info sir!
Of course, not sure why i didnt think of that. 😀
Hi Tim, it is great to see you. I hope you are doing well. Thumbs up on your video. Stay well & safe.
good to see you on here
New shop looks good!
Thank you. Lovin it!!
Thank you for that fix. I have a 2011 f150 500 four-wheel drive
The transmission sometimes stays in overdrive any videos on that
Hello Tim ! Nice to see you.
Good day from Ontario. Boy that look like a fairly easy fix.. No snow up there yet? Thanks
Super easy fix. Just a light dusting so far. Temps hovering around 20°F currently. How bout you guys?
This guy is awesome.
Nice video! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you. Hope it helps someone. Blessings.
Can i have a video if its not the shaft? I thpught i might have been my power steering pump but theres no whining so its keeping its lubrication
Thanks 🙏 a real master mechanic
Thanks for the tip Tim. Did you have to remove a lot of other part to get to that part?
Hey Tim, I replaced the ps pump on my 01 F350, V10, AT. We bled the air and it seemed to work fine UNTIL WE SET IT ON THE GROUND. Then? Total STIFF WHEEL W/O ANY ASSIST at all. Any idea what it could be? Maybe a bad NEW PUMP? I'm scratching my head

I have a 2007 f350 any help to why this is please help
I have sway arms upper and lower balls replaced steering box new i dont understand 😢
Hi, what if once vehicle starts but steering does not turn at all?
You edited out the 45 minutes of vulgar swearing it took to get it off.
I have almost the same problem with my 2016 dodge ram but mine seems to be Affected by the cold weather and I get no power steering is that the rack that needs to be replaced?

@@ThecardoctorTV Its electric steering.
@@ronfrey3343 oh. Crud. It sounds like you have bigger issues. Lame
@@ThecardoctorTV Getting the rack and pinion replaced tomorrow. I hope this gets my steering back. Went through this same thing in early spring. ???
So is WD40 a good thing to keep that lubed up?
I doubt it, that might accelerate issues by washing grease out of joints but just a guess. Too bad they dont put a lube fitting in it.
@@ThecardoctorTV so it’s non serviceable I take it. Replace when it’s like the one u just did
@@JohnR9965 or try to get some heavier lube into the bearings like garage door lube or spray grease. Hate that a non-serviceable part os so expensive.
@@ThecardoctorTV prices are crazy for everything. Thanks for the info. …glad your back
I love your video nice job very informative 5 *****
My 2013 was doing this for a few days and today I tossed a check engine light .Gotta put it on the reader tomorrow to see if it's related
I have a 2010, so no electric power steering, but I spray my intermediate shaft down every so often.
Do you live in an area subject to corrosion? This one was near salt water.
@@ThecardoctorTV yes western New York. Where hardly anybody can drive without wet, salt covered roads. Lol
Are you still open and where are you located at in Anchorage?
OMG!!! I can “fix” it with just some PBblaster!? Lol, def going to try this for a temporary fix lol
Cannot throw the advance service track light on if it’s completely bad all my fuses are good when I tap on the steering shaft It steers again
Sounds terrible
Thank you sir it worked 🎉🎉.
Thanks brother

Anchorage. Biggest mosquitoes on this planet. Good vid Tim.
Haha. This summer was very nice. Guess it was too hot for them. Hate skeeters.
may be a rag joint isn't so bad after al .
