Helpe me !!
 

Hello everyone,

Why my SVX is trembling at very slow speed by pulling the steering wheel to the right or left?

Thanks.

Pierre, if you mean that the steering wheel "trembles" when you turn it. It may be air getting into the power steering pump. It may be the "O" ring under the pump tank, letting air in.

If it vibrates the wheel back at forth while the car is moving at slow speeds it could be;
- While braking it could be "warped" brake rotors or bad control arm bushings.

- While driving at slow speeds it could be bad/binding front axles.

Thank you, what is it "O" ring ? How to remedy this problem ?

I changed the power steering pump, it is new !

Re: Helpe me !!
 

O ring is a round gasket.
How you check the oil level on the steering pump?

Maybe the rubberpipe is leaking?
Is the anny oildrip under the car when the enige is running?

Re: Helpe me !!
 

Hello, the power steering oil is leaking, is it necessary to change the tank ?

Re: Helpe me !!
 

Replace the o-ring under your fluid tank, they tend to harden and leak. Try this before replacing the pump. O-rings shown are for illustration purposes only!

Oh im not sure I just threw in a pic of some since you asked. Im sure someone else knows the exact dimensions.

Power steering o-ring replacement = p/n 062610110

TREVOR supplied information on the o-ring size in the "how-to" area, about 5+ years ago.

It only takes 30 minutes to change & it was the cause of my issue.

Up!!! :) :)

Re: Helpe me !!
 

I'm with Hocrest. Check the CV joints on your axles. Are the boots torn/broken? Is there any visible grease?

Re: Helpe me !!
 

Hi Manarius, what is CV joints and boots ? :confused:

Do you have a pictures ?

Thank.

Pierre-Olivier :)

Re: Helpe me !!
 

From that picture, it would be the rubber boots on the "Front Drive Axle".

Re: Helpe me !!
 

Thank you very much, what parts numbers are to be changed on this link ? ----> http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ont+drive+axle

Re: Helpe me !!
 

Well, generally it would be parts 3 or 13 (assuming you determine the axle boots are torn). Just the axle unit itself. They can be had for $70 at places like Autozone and Advance Auto. I don't know what kind of parts stores they have where you're from, but I would think you'd be able to order the axle from something equivalent to those.
