Hi all,

I'm having power steering issues with my Honda DC 2006. When the car is in motion the steering feels easy, smooth and soft but when I'm stationary, without revving, the steering feels hard and difficult and when I force it the power steering starts making noise.

Please what could be the problem and how do I fix it.

My daily douse of panadol has increased. Old any advice?

Have your power steering pump changed. Ensure the power steering reservoir is cleaned up properly from debris before installation. If reservoir is extremely dirty have it changed

Honda & Power steering issue na 5 & 6
Welcome to the club

Check you power steering fluid level.. If it is low, check around for leakage(seriously pray leakage is not from the steering rack) & solve ..
If the fluid is not low, its most probably your power steering pump, repair or replace & you will be fine.

Diportivo come & welcome our honda power steering compadre

Thanks bro, no traces of leakage on the rack, it's dry and neat. I will take it for inspection cos if leakage exist I sld be battling with low oil level which I'm not.

I will look for a good mechanic who might be able to fix it.

Let me just advice you. Go for a brand new power steering pump

Thank you, I hope it's not too expensive?

OilsPartsCars:


It is.

Power steering issues are not so straightforward.


If you come to my shop. I will quote for a rack and a pump having informed you I will fix the pump first, and see if that alone fixes it. People drive a stiff steering so long, that it affects the rack too.


As long as the rack isn't leaking, there is a slim chance the rack is bad. But you can't totally rule that out.


Original pump is Expensive, with a capital E. Not some Chinese knock off.


Trust your mechanic enough to sort this out. He should get a used pump, and only pay when it works. Sometimes, the seller comes to fix so there are no stories.
