Like title says, steering is hard when stopped but not when moving. I Checked ps fluid It's not low, thinking either ps pump or rack and pinion. I was side swiped awhile back, they replaced outer tie rod, upper control arm and rim. Steering began acting up after that, started getting noisy when turning but not much else. Months later it is really hard to turn from a stand still. I'm sure the doughnuts didn't help. I would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

 

I sense the wolves are coming for some fresh meat tonight.

 

I've actually been a member for a couple of years, didn't log in for awhile now it seems my account reset?

 

Overheating the PS pump and fluid

 

and driving like an a$$hole then posting it on the interwebz.

 

i am going to say driving like a douche didnt help, were you trying to get a video on worldstar hip hop or something?

 

Patiently waiting for OP to be booty tickled

 

I blew my power steering when I was a pimply faced ahole 17 year old delivering pizzas and doing donuts in a snowy parking lot in my 87s10 4x4... Tried to get the rest of the night off but my boss offered me his truck... Apparently it's hard finding dudes to deliver pizzas in snow storms... I never fixed that ****... Eventually the clutch went and the body rusted off

 

This would be an issue on all cars. Think about the dynamics of a car while its in motion... Is it easier to push a sled from a dead stop, or one that is already moving slightly, no matter the speed?

My Z's power steering feels way "harder" than my c6 corvette.. but I think the Z's just need to be rolling to get the tires to turn easier. Another factor is your front wheel/tire size and alignment.

 

SoCal.....




I hope to god your not one of the retards with a Z or G that does this crap in both the middle of my girls neighborhood cul-desac.. Or the warehouses behind my house every GDMF weekend...

 

And all the note said was your power steering just broke hommie

 

Start doing doughnuts in the other direction, this should solve your problem. Do them in front of the police station, if the steering does not fix itself a public servant can come help you.

 

quote of the day.

 

Didn't think you ladies would get butt hurt thanks anyway

 

No one's butthurt about anything other than yourself. what kind of response did you think you'd get? cars aren't made to do doughnuts. you were fcking around with the car and now somethings probably bent

 

Well now im butt hurt because I posted a nice reply, an awesome story, and a cool video... And nobody even has the common courtesy for a reach around.

 

I've never done a donut in my 350z or my old 300zx in the 6 years I've owned them(mid 20's now 30)

Though I do do cyclones in my 98 a4 in the winter

There's not much that can go wrong. Just put a new pump in it to start.

 

Thank you, that was what i was thinking, rebuild the pump and go from there. It's either that or the r&p. In the close to 4 years I've owned my Z I've done doughnuts 3 or 4 times. Does anyone know if pump and r&p from a g fit the Z?

 

Thanks for the awesome story bro, cool vid anytime you in SoCal or Baja I'll get u that reach around and a drink.

 

I wonder if you know, how they live in Tokyo.
