The 95-98 Avenger takes the same rack as the 95-98 Eclipse and the 95-98 Galant w/o eps

The pump will moan, groan, and generally be noisy if there is air in the system. The noise will be louder when you turn the steering wheel (the pump is creating more psi when turning). The other problems can be a restriction somewhere in the system (possibly in the rack or the fluid...

More often then not when fluid spews out of the reservoir there is air entering the system. Air usually enters on the return (low pressure) side of the system. AIR CAN ENTER THE SYSTEM ON THE RETURN SIDE WITHOUT LEAKING FLUID.If you have not changed your low side hoses (including your...

the only difference is the abs ring, all other dimensions are the same, according to the "Rockford Constant Velocity Technical Manual"

The length of time that the power rack will last being ran as a manual depends on the driving habits of the person behind the wheel. Eventually the the teeth on the rack shaft and pinion shaft will wear (and it will wear quicker than if it was still being used hydraulically) and you will...

most likely it is just air in the system. to find out you can look in your pump reservoir. if there are bubbles or foam (of course) or if the fluid looks shiny or has a metallic look to it, you have air in it.to bleed the system:1. Let the car sit with the engine off so that the fluid...

is it a squeel or a squeek?If it is a squeek, You may want to check your steering column and your steering coupling. Check for free movement in the ujoints that are on your steering column (make sure they flex easily in both the x-axis and y-axis)

Use what the manual says but keep this in mind....Transmission fluid is designed to allow some friction and to be in an environment below 350 psi.The power steering system does not want any friction and operates in an environment of at least 1000-1200 psi (most max pressures are between...

If you plug your hose ports up you will have a definite turning problems (with each turn it will get harder and harder). Even though the rack is not hooked up it still has has the valving in it that is trying to work (suck in on the pressure, release on the return). It is best to to have a...

The CV Joints have nothing to do with turning radius because the engineers that designed the vehicle have limited the turning radius with the rack & pinion before you ever get to the limit of the arc of the CV joint.The larger "performance" axle is still no bigger than your average Toyota...

50-60 hour work week; 9 credit hours

Is there a reason for this? Are you saying this because that is what the manual says? :confused:Just curious

Most manufacturers (except Honda and Audi) tell you to use ATF, but power steering fluid is a better alternative. Reasons:1. ATF allows for some friction, you do not want any friction in your power steering system2. ATF is made to withstand 300-400psi, the power steering system has at...

insaniti : "I looked high and low for replacements. went to autozone, advanced auto, and napa checking out the part they have listed in the computer as "direct replacement". the prices ranged from $23-$140....for the same damn part!!!"It is their suppliers not them, and yes they have...

The alignment will help to make the turns even. An alignment will not affect the total turns of the rack. On your car you can always remove the coupling, center your steering wheel, and then reattach the coupling (and like the guy said some alignment shops do that anyway).As far as how...

The 2g's do not use the same power steering hoses as the 1g's.

I am glad you looked up more information on it. A softer (or thinner) torsion bar will give you lighter steering. Think of the torsion bar like spring. The easier it is to twist the easier your steering will be. We will sometimes "turn down" the torsion bar (shave some metal off) for elderly...

You can try a parts house or the dealer, but my suggestion is to call a local power steering rebuilder in your area and see if they will sell you one. That may be the cheapest route.

I don't know if this information will help you or not but here I go:1. The power steering pump must have a minimum of 1000psi and 2.5 gpm of flow (during a turning manuever) for you to have any power assist. Most pumps put out 1200-1400 psi and 3-4 gpm flow. Pump pressure at idle without...

there is no protection or detection for laser until it hits you squarely. You won't detect it if they have it aimed at someone else. In texas, many officers use lasers and they aim at the license plate or in that region so the radar won't pick it up. I have been told by informative people...

I use the passport escort 8500. It has saved me numerous times. The features I like the best:1. x, k, ka, laser detection with the ability to turn off any band detector (if you don't want it to detect x band you can easily program it not to)2. Expert mode : can display all radar...

I personally would take the coupling of the rack, center the steering wheel and then re-attach the coupling to the rack (with the wheels in the straight ahead position, of courses). There should not be any master splines on the pinion (input shaft) of the rack to prevent this. This may be...

I agree that there is a restriction somewhere in the system (crimped lines). As far as the pump putting out to much pressure and blowing up, no...the pump burns up because there is probably a restriction somewhere that is starving the pump of fluid which in turn damages the pump.

yeah you can start the car, it will make it easier to see a leak. To check the boots for fluid though, the engine does not need to be running.

yeah thats basically it.....but......if your rack is leaking it may be leaking into your boots (bellows) so you may want to squeeze them to see if there is any fluid in them. It can either feel slick (if you rub your boot between two pinch fingers) or you may be able to hear a "squishy" sound...

You probably just have the column in a bind. If the column is binding you will feel the steering go hard than easy, hard than easy as you turn the steering wheel from full left to full right or vice versa. This can also happen when the little u-joints start to go bad that are on the column...

Stops - this is the point when you have turned the steering wheel as far as you can to one side (left or right). When at the stops, the pump is putting out its maximum pressure. This is why most people tell you not to hold the wheel at the stops for more than a few seconds because sometimes it...

normally the only thing that "stop leak" does is swell the seals to stop the leak. The problem with this is the fluid doesn't know which seal is leaking so it swells all the seals (rubber) in the system, which will eventually cause leaks in other places

when your steering wheel will not return to the same center position everytime, the problem is your mounting bushings on your rack & pinion. The bushings are worn out and they are allowing your rack to move slightly. The bushings need to be replaced. Before replacing them try and fix any oil...

hey bnpimpin here is the picture that you requested. The ball & socket is where the play will most likely occur. The socket and where the tie rod attached to the rack shaft are covered by your boot or bellow (which is used to protect the rack shaft and the inner tie rod socket from moisture...

on your inner tie rods where they attach to your rack & pinion there is a ball and socket assembly. This is part of your inner tie rods. When the inner tie rods wear out there will be wear between the ball and the socket. This allows the rod itself to move in and out of the socket housing...

A friend of mine also had a problem with authority and still joined the Air Force. During basic he got mad at the DS and took a swing....the next thing he knew he was waking up in the infirmary and they had papers for him to sign so that he could go home. The official reason was "Failure to...

how does a vtech kick in? I may be wrong (and please correct me if I am) but isn't vtech just a denotation of an engine design. It is almost like saying "I was losing until my hemi kicked in"

Actually the shop followed the correct procedure for doing an alignment by performing a pre-alignment inspection. Now as far as it has to be replaced before the alignment done because it leaking is an iffy question. They may be afraid of fluid getting on the different bushings on the front end...

You said you checked the bolts that hold the rack to the frame but did you check the rubber mounting bushings. If these mounting bushings are bad your rack will move slightly causing the steering wheel not to return to the same center position everytime after a turn. If your bushings are oil...

I'll tell you right now I am no expert on Mitsubishi's but I do have some fair knowledge of cars. The ticking may be the oil lifters. My Mazda 4 cyl has hydraulic lifters and when they were not working correctly they would make a ticking noise. I replaced them and the ticking went away

northwest houston, on pinemont....and yes I used to hang out on westheimer, starting with "Boston Tea Party" (old restuarant) and then the cops kept pushing us West until we were beyond hwy 6.I was wondering who would make the comment about being open for business. :thumb:

Drove into work today and this is what greeted me... all for about $15 in coins....what a headache....

yes...it is, he looks much better now doesn't he.. and no I was not stepping on the kitten's paw.. I was sitting down. I just happened to catch him in the middle of a meow. He was about 6 wks old when I took that picture.

No luck... I do not have any bushings for the passenger side. I called around a little and none of my suppliers are offering it at this time. You can try Defiants idea and see if it works (I have never heard of it but you gotta do what you gotta do). Your other option is to look in junk...

I almost posted that crankbender came from the ghetto the other day. I grew up across the street from him (I live next door to the mexican mafia). Now what he did not tell you was that another mexican gang lives down the street and the whole area is basically controlled by some sort of Asian...

You are asking for the right part and there are two on your rack. The problem is that not many mounting bushings are sold in the aftermarket. I sell rebuilt racks, and we try to supply mounting bushings for every rack if they are available in the aftermarket. Unfortunately Mitsubishi and...

luv2rallye...very good explanation on the correct way to remove and install inner tie rods. The only thing that I have to add is to make sure that you support the rack shaft (the part the inner tie rods screw into) so that you don't damage the rack shaft or the pinion shaft (where the coupling...
