    Power steering nightmare

    Well, I have all the relevant parts(I think) all going together nicely. Another question, do you need 2 stop bolts? I only had to remove 1 but there is defo room for another on the other side of the swivel housing. Such a noobie tbh but all the advice is getting me there. Have a good weekend all.

    Yeah I'm thinking a new set of rods etc. Probably just get the full kit, just bought some clamps so they can be spares I suppose. Defender 90 300TDi 1994 Hardtop

    Power steering nightmare

    Thanks again for the useful advice. I have tackled the front left hub first once the swivel housing refurb kit arrived. It has took a lot of penetrant and heat to get all the bolts out of the pin housing, pretty much everything was badly corroded. A lot of wire brushing with the grinder and it...

    Power steering stiff when on ground

    Hicap phill, I will give that a go at the weekend, cheers. Gmacz, I doused them in WD40 first then applied some grease for good measure. Like you say it sounds like it could be the UJ's so that could be another task for the weekend. At least they aren't a fortune if needing replaced. Flossie...

    Power steering stiff when on ground

    Hi all, apologies if this is a repeat of other threads. My power steering was playing up on my 90 300 TDi , to the point where you just could not move the steering wheel. Ended up fitting a new pump and low pressure hose from pump to reservoir. Started up the engine and fluid spewed out of the...
