VE SV6 Hard to steer

[Mon-aro]

Hey guys thanks for the heads up i better be very cautious as i dint want to orphan my kids!

Gonna watch some videos on how tonuse the compressor safely.

Now i decided to go with the 15/16 spanner as the 24MM had to much wiggle and didnt fit snug. 23MM was to small also.

Wish me luck. And if anyone knows the best video related to what im working please share the link.

This explains enough.
Of note is they are to be worked on from the side and never from above.

There is nothing else. It’s going to either be the struts, the power steering pump or an internal leak in the rack. Low air pressure will do this as well.

Of note: The air pressure in the tyres still hasn’t been confirmed from back at the start.

Could be old and/or worn tyres.....

Tyre pressure was 33 at one stage, (post #25) now over 40 PSI (post #55).

Might as well put the rack in seeing you have a spare....Only spending your time, not your cash chasing the issue

I just wanna hug and kiss all of you legends! for the support you have provided.

Let start out by saying " im guilty" lol i had a second hand power steering pump that i bought years ago as a spare and just found out it was shot!

After having dinner with the family i thought to myself " what the hell is going on??? then an angel shot an arrow to my brain and i thought hmm let me swap the ps pump with the another car i have! and BOOM! it worked like a stripper on a bucks night! thanks again for all the support and ideas guys! Now to the next project which is going to be soon!

Just before wrapping this up
I have a " service vehicle soon " and when i try to reset it it says " No item to reset " tried looking up and all the threads about vz and svs etc.. my car is ve

and when i realised it dodgey i pumped the tyres even more.

33 is too low. Find a sandy carpark and it’s spot on.
