miles Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi, was looking for some advice as i might be going to view a supe tomorrow. The gent has said that the only slight problem is that the steering is quiet heavy at low speeds and reckons it could just need the belt tightening up? What are the possible causes for this, i.e rack/pump etc and the price that these problems would cost to fix? i know its a bit hard to diagnose with the limited info but some suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Im not to sure to be honest, im guessing the power steering belt? if there is such a thing im not that clued up to be honest. Which belt does he think needs tightening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 the PAS pump also has 2 vac feeds pre and post throttle - may have some effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I believe the supra has speed sensitive steering (heavier with speed) and it could be something to do with that. It could also be controlled by vacuum like mensioned above. You want me to go along with you to look at it mate, is it a TT....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Dodgy speedo converstion (i.e a speed senstive steering issue) usually makes the steering too light.. not the other way. Check the crank pulley, heavy steering is a common sign of CP failure - the centre wheel will become detached from the iner and cause the entire drive belt to under speed - causing all sorts of issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
