Fandrover Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Hi all As per the title Ive found that the power steering on my 130 appears significantly more assisted when turning to the right than when turning to the left. Any ideas or guesses anyone? Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakesy Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Have you bled the nipple on top of the PS Unit. Check the steering for notches and see if the rods are not damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bled via the nipple until a steady stream. Sorry to seem naive but which 'rods' Also Ive seen plenty of posts regarding 'notches' but havnt worked out whether that means actual physical notches or just a 'notchy' feeling?

Disco-Ron Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 its also worth removing the steering damper and seeing how it feels, if it's slight bent it'll be harder to turn left....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fandrover Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Rods seem ok, will take off steering damper when Ive fixed the new problems..... see new post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
