Jaason Neutral Newbie April 16, 2007 Share April 16, 2007 For some reasons my Power Steering don't seems to be as firm as before. Kind of spongy & less tight. Don't seems to return to its netural stage fast. Angle wise, I tend to need to turn excessly more at every turn too. The left signal light at times does not gets disactived & I need to turn a wider angle towards the right to disactive the left signal light. What could be the problem? Any advice? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeobh 4th Gear April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 Check the drive belt for loosness and check fluid level.Once the fluid goes far too low the preset level , chance of air bubbles being built up in the system - resulting in less positive steering actions.

Redfoxx Neutral Newbie April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 Hello,according to my airwave manual, i cant find any power steering fluid in the bonnet. Is it a standard for all power steering to run on fluid? Thanks a million! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear April 21, 2007 Share April 21, 2007 Is it a standard for all power steering to run on fluid? Not all vehicle uses hydraulic for power steering..... Example Honda Civic 1.6 and 2.0 uses electric in their power steering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dqnizer Neutral Newbie February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 (edited) Hello! This is my first post (sorry for digging old thread up, but new member cannot start new thread? so i decided to dig this up) I just pass driving few days ago. I drive my dad's car today (nissan march (96)) and his power steering has already gave way. As a new driver, it is really a challenge for me to drive without power steering. I heard from my dad the entire pump has already gave way and this old car doesn't have anymore of the power steering spare parts. Any brother here can help me? I'm looking for the entire power steering for nissan march, 96 version. 2nd hand can already. Oh ya, just to add on, the car's clutch (as compared to my instructor's lancer GLX) is too soft and sometime's it feels like that it is not depressed. The brakes too! There are slacks on the brake and it takes me to press it down nearly all the way to get the brakes. The brakes aren't responsive. Sometimes it just feels like there isn't any brakes unless u press it all down (which leads to me becoming so close to the car infront.) However, my dad say he just replaced the brake pad. Is this just a matter of familarising the car? Thanks! Edited February 25, 2012 by Dqnizer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADs are obliged to keep cars' spare parts even after they are phased out. Of course, prepare your $$$$$$. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dqnizer Neutral Newbie February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Tan Chong is new parts rite? Since it is an old car, i am thinking of 2nd hand, might be cheaper. How about the brake and clutch problem i face? isit normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate to make my dad car work like a normal car cuz he always bo chup when the thing spoil. sian. The driver is more serious than the car . Sell away the car before he get involved in accidents.

5936 1st Gear February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 Looking at the fault lists, I would strongly suggest that you give top priority to brakes and clutch. If normal brake service to bleed trapped air in the brake circuit cannot solve the brake problem, brake master pump may be defective. At the mean time, drive very carefully, and leave more front gap, especially going down ramp and highway. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
