My steering exhibits far too much "play." I start to turn and there's no response. The interior components are all after market, and it has only been recently that I've experienced this. Love these educational vids.
I miss working on cars, I was really big into it and worked at Honda and went to Honda School in Weston,FL. now I'm completely burned out on cars and only like working on them if it's for myself because I don't have bs deadlines, I don't have warranty times being cut back because they like to penalize techs for experience when they find a faster way of doing things and "still being the right way to fix it" I don't shortcut but they always cut labor times when they find out we do it faster.
Great video. I have a question. I have an E39 2002 model 530 diesel automatic car with the M57 engine (CA980-40). I changed engine, transmission and hydrauolic steering fluid *2 times and my steering is still very hard. The pump seems to be working because when I flushed it, I noticed it was sucking the new fluid in when I was turning the steering from left to right. Yet, I have a terrible steering - it is very heavy and sometimes I have to really use to hands. Could you give me ideas where to check? Or do you think the rank and the pinion is probably gone bad? Although I cannot see any leaks from it. The car is 15 years old at 63K.
Thank you so much I learned something from you my son works for AutoZone but certain things he don't know but then again he does have power with the parts that I need yes I'm a female but then again I've been a man also raising for kids so this helps me out thank you so much again.No I don't on mens you know what they want and I don't carry it on my forehead....
I have a 95 Toyota 4runner 3.0 v6.. power steering pump keep going dry it needs to have fluid put in every 100 miles.About a month ago i replaced a hose that was busted. Consistently replace the power steering fluid every 100 miles. Realized I am suppose to put ATF instead of PSF in the power steering pump. Did I mess the pump/system up when I used incorrect fluids? I did a flush and have been running manufacturer spec fluid for a week, but no change still have to replace fluid every 100 miles. Tried multiple brands of PSF-leak stop, no luck.
Hey I got a question, I have an 01 alero 3.4 when I drive at higher speeds like 40+ the steering wheel wobbles for 3 seconds then stops for 10 seconds then it woobles again, what could it be?
If you are a new car owner and dont know of mechanics seriously dont take advice from autozone or O'Reilly they just want to squeeze the most money out of you i find scotty Kilmer to be really helpful learn about cars and you'll save a fortune or if you have the means find a reputable mechanic
@hom2fu yes, and don't use the type fork he used in the video if you are reusing the outer tie rod ends. The fork will damage the grease seals. Just give the knuckle a good rap with a BFH and it will fall out.
Hello I'm having a problem with my wife's 2009 Ford Escape. Electric steering no fluids. It's not under recall and should be. Upon engine start the steering wheel automatically binds making it hard to turn the steering wheel. This is a safety issue and needs to be recalled. My 2009 Ford Escape was Made in Kansas City Assembly Plant Job#2 program 2. The recalls are only for Kansas City Assembly Plant Job#1, year models 2008-2011. With this information I believe it is just to include my and other vehicles in this recall. Please share to get this done.
One day i was driving down the street and the power steering made a big noise, and i lost all powersteering, when i opened the hood the reservoir was a little melted, i replaced it and the power steering pump and now the problem i have is the the low pressure line gets sucked in and i dont have any steering,please help
I need help I have a 2004 acura tl I had a bad rack and pinion like 8 months ago a replace can was good for 4 months and now my rack and pinion is bad again an this time I replace 5 times the rack and pinion and 3 months because every time I do alignment the rack and pinion goes bad the next day and last time I replaced I replace the power steering pump to and it when bad again cN someone tell me whats can be causing this
If wobbling is IN THE DIERCTION of the vehicle (IN LINE) it means the wheels are out of balance. If the wobbling is ACROSS the vehicle, it's coming from the engine flywheel, or another heavy mass INSIDE the engine compartment (clutch components, etc). This is a general rule.
Hi I have a 2003 Toyota Avensis Estate (station wagon) 1AZ-FSE 2.0 litre engine with 152 000 km milage. I changed the front shocks in May last year as the front right shock was damaged. I replaced them with cheap no names as I was travelling. When I came back home the right one was damaged again( after about 2 000km) I took it to the guys who specializes in suspensions and they confirmed the right shocked was damaged again and replaced them with the Monroes shocks and now after about 6 000 km of driving the right shock is damaged again. The shock’s piston rod shaft in both the shocks that were removed so far were bent. About an hour ago I look at damaged one and the shock’s piston rod shaft is bent. The left hand side shock’s piston rod shaft is straight. i am not getting any bouncing or steering shaking. I am only getting rattling noise when I go through bumps Please help before I buy a set of shocks again.
I have gone to a number of car places to simply get someone to help diagnose what's wrong. Everyone keeps telling something different!! Where are you when I need you ! :(
I think he jumped too fast to the conclusion that the binding was in the rack. Twice, I have had steering shafts go bad. They have U-joints in them and when they go bad, the wheel binds as you turn it. You need to check that before possibly pulling a perfectly good rack. They are generally not hard to remove and once off, it is easy to tell if a joint is bad. My bad ones were on a 2003 Town Car and a 1995 Dakota.
This is a very good tutorial of how the steering linkages work together. Thank you!!

before remove the outer tie rods, make sure you mark of how many rounds you remove for proper alignment

What is binding ?
something is wrong with my point steering wheel 2007
but why was it leaking?
I want to know where the power steering pump is located on a front wheel drive 2007 Buick LaCrosse 3.8 m
I have gone to a number of car places to simply get someone to help diagnose what's wrong. Everyone keeps telling something different!! Where are you when I need you ! :(
Better be fixing that column moving there.
As to safety is concerned, what about wearing nitrile gloves? Looks like you forgot to mention it and wear it.

c 2007 Chevrolet Aveo
yeah, let's throw two grand at it...that'll work...wow
That's right. With a 20+ year old car, basically everything will need to be replaced.
But if you do it yourself it’s still a good deal
