To me that's exactly what it sounds like but I don't know what's actually rubbing as the wheel spins free...

I am wondering if this sound is due to the slotted/cross drilled rotors and pads or its a wheel bearing. I am guessing a wheel bearing. I also always hear it after I start the car and make the turn out of my driveway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMxk905JiEo Thanks, Tim

So I added one full quart of mobile 1 atf and it appears to be full. I was expecting at least 2. The pump is wining a little when I turn the wheel and it didn't do that before the install. The small bubbles seem to have gone away and it looks like the fluid is cycling through the system. How...

This use to happen to my car. After driving for 10 - 15 min the temp would keep going up until I'd have to pull over. I'd wait 10 min restart the car and after a min outta no where the guage would drop back down and stay where it should be for the rest of the day. My thermostat was not...

I finally got the filter installed. I chose to install it right as the low pressure hose comes out of the rack in a section of rubber hose so I didn't have to cut the metal "cooler" pipe which was the other option. I will fill it with mobil 1 ATF tomorrow and bleed the system and take it for a...

Thanks for the info. I looked under the hood and located the loop of pipe - never noticed that before. I'm not 100% sure I want to cut out a section of the metal pipe so I may try and insert the filter between one of the rubber hoses. My filter is in the mail and I noticed it is directional...

So I read a lot of older threads on adding an in line filter. I am going to go with a Magnefine 3/8 for the low pressure side. Does it matter if I install this under the car near the rack or up top near the reservoir? Also, after fishing out my screen from the reservoir its ruined so I don't...

Does anyone know if the screen inside the power steering reservoir tank should rest on the ledge half way down inside the tank or on the bottom? I checked the TSRM and didn't seen anything. Resting on the ledge doesn't make sense to me b/c the the return line inlet on the side of the reservoir...

Anyone know what this plug goes to? It is the same exact shape and size of PPS plug except that one is white and this one is gray. It is directly under the cold start injector. This has been unplugged since I have owned the car and everything in the car works to my knowledge.

I looked inside my power steering reservoir and said this to myself....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeqGwUDHBDA. The screen is sideways at the bottom.. I'll look into sourcing a new one off someone on here....not sure I can fix the one I have. Also, I did some research and 3 quarts of ATF...

Ok Thanks....I don't even recall seeing a screen in the PS reservoir unless its down in there about half way. I will check tonight. Also, would you happen to remember how much ATF the system holds?

Everything is pretty much back together.....just need to put in the reservoir and 2 hoses up top. Can I use Prestone synthetic fluid or should I go with dealer fluid? Also, getting the air out of the lines....wheels on the car, car on the ground and turn the wheel all the way to each side a...

The dealer gave me the wrong washers. Ill be stopping into the dealer later today to show him the old ones and the TSRM. There is no part number for these in the TSRM which makes it difficult.

Regarding the nuts for the outer tie rods.....I have to back the nuts off slightly to get the cotter pins in so the bolt really isn't tight. That doesn't give me the warm fuzzies b/c if the cotter pin ever wore out the nut could come off. Do people generally use lock tight here?

I ordered new washers for the power steering return line from the dealer. I haven't picked them up yet however the guy from the dealer told me they are not copper. Does anyone know about the switch from copper to another metal. Should I not use them and just purchase the 16mm copper crush...

I finally separated the intermediate shaft from the rack after a lot of prying and hammering. I have my driftmotion high pressure line and my new tie rod ends (with the proper spacing) installed on the new rack. Now to reinstall everything.

The rack is out however I ran into a slight problem. Pics below. I did make match marks so i know where the intermediate shaft reconnects once i get it separated from the rack......please confirm the one pick is where i should pry to separate it.

Yes, the driftmotion line does come with the two copper washers so I'm covered there. I will need to get 2 copper washers from the dealer where the low pressure side connects to the rack. At this point everything has been unbolted except one of the driver side bolts holding the rack clamp...

Thanks again...Ill just let it turn all the way to one side while I break them loose.

Appreciate it....that clears it up for me. Last thing i need to do other than what you just mentioned is break the bolts loose at the the tie rod ends. When i go to use a breaker bar the wheels turn on me....can i just let the wheel lock itself to break them lose.....i have not disconnected...
