Kia sorento power steering?
The other day I was in a fender bender and damaged what appears to the power steering oil cooler line in my 2011 Kia sorento. It is an oddly bent piece of piping that connects to the power steering fluid reservoir on one end and a hose leading to the undercarriage of the car on the other. I've found a replacement piece from Kia online for about 130$, but similair cooling systems like this one http://m.oreillyauto.com/mt/www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/HDN3/1009/05146.oap?year=2011&make=Ford&model=Ranger&vi=1446677&ck=Search_power+steering_05146_1446677_489&redirectkeyword=power+steering&pt=05146&ppt=C0031
Can be found at cheaper prices in local auto parts stores. As long as I can properly fit and mount it under the hood, and the intake and outtake of the pipinf is the same size (3/8), is it okay to use a system like this either permanently or short term?
Yeah
- 1995 Ford Taurus with a steering issue. When I turn the steering wheel to a certain spot left or right it will start moving back and forth? According to previous owner the rack and pinion was previously replaced. Steering wheel Is off a little to the right. Any ideas?
- When changing the power steering pump on a KA (54) can you use PTFE tape to seal the pressure line from pump? I have changed the power steering pump on a ford KA (54) and when removing the pressure line from the pump there was some kind of seal on it but I don't know what it was, so I was hopping that PTFE tape would do the same job at sealing the thread. Any help please. Andy.
- My power steering belt is off? When I left for work yesterday I pulled out of the driveway and it was extremely hard to turn my steering wheel. I noticed this morning my power steering belt was hanging off. I grabbed it and it just all came off. I looked at the belt. It doesn't have any cracks or slits. I'm not sure if it can be worn out or if there could be another problem leading to it? I have a 2002 ford focus. I know nothing about cars.
- I have a 2004 Ford F150 and when the weather warms up the power steering stops working? When the weather is cold the power steering works fine but when the weather starts to warm up the power steering stops working the belt looks fine but if the pump was bad then why is power steering working just fine in the winter time
