Power Steering, how it works?
My power steering has been working well for the past week since I fooled around with the sensor near the power steering pump. What does this sensor do? No dash lights lit up when I un-plugged it. Mine is a 92 with speed sensitive steering. It has never seemed that speed "sensitive" though. How does the speed sensitive steering work? Does the pump vary it's pressure?
I would like to know why the binding in my steering simply went away. I do not belive it is a rack problem now. Racks don't usually just get better. Thanks!!!!! |
That is great the binding went away. :) It may have something to do with temperature. Have you changed the fluid?
The PS system workings? If I get time I'll look in the FSM. |

Thanks, Paul |
I also have a 92. How do you know whether it has speed-sensitive steering and also which type. I have seen references to a couple of different type of steering systems. Are there any descriptions on what is different or how each works.

my power steering has been cutting in and out.. it primarily cuts out when the car is still cold.. once i drive around a bit, things start to feel fine.. but i get a stiff wheel and a bunch of christmas tree lights when i try to turn the wheel right after starting it... i checked the belt and it's not slipping or anything

The Last thing I did was add the additive, so I'm assuming that is what got it going, it might take a while to work in:confused: Either way I'm just glad it's working:D |

I am going to put that stuff in my stang and truck. Good stuff. |
Here's what I know about how it works. You turn the steering wheel. That causes the front wheels to turn in the same direction as the steering wheel. I didn't say I knew alot.
I took the condensed Box-O-Tech course given at the RM Auto Mechanics & Clear Plastic Slip Cover School located in Maryland. |

That sounds like the same kind of trining we get, or should I say "git" down here in NC. |

Hey guys. Just for the record, what is the name the additive goes by? Is it a Lucas power steering additive? I have used a Lucas a/t additive. I am not sure about the results. It doesn't help the 2-3 flair.
|
The bottle is at home, but I think it's the only "Lucus" brand that is for power steering.
|
Yeah, Lucas Power Steering aditive. I think it also says something about "stop leak" as well. It's a white bottle with a funny tip, almot like a squeeze bottle.
