Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
I Know someone on this thread said something about dropping it from the jacks. After much turning and twisting. After much bleeding and rebleeding. There were no bubbles but still heavy vibrations when turning right. Then my brother thought, "hmm, the right side is higher than the left side(on... -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
Update: I checked the torque on the banjo bolt and we actually came pretty close to the 29lb/ft torque it was supposed to be at. NO leaks. -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
I just remembered something: When we were trying to figure out if there were leaks, my brother tried loosening the banjo bolts that sits on top of the pump. It is that weird looking one with like a circle in between some washers. When we tightened it back down, it was leaking like crazy so then... -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
Quick thought: If my steering pump went bad, why would changing the O-ring cause it to go bad? It wasn't vibrating like it is now before. I just find it weird that it would start doing it after changing the O-ring. -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
Really! I was afraid someone was going to say this. If you need to get rid of your spare pump I would sure like to be first in line :) If the PS was working fine before this, could moving it to get to the intake manifold really damage it? Well, when we bled it, we did have it run with no PS... -

Slow I can handle. But this is new. This shaking is new :( -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
What do you mean tires on the ground it might vibrate? We double checked the belts. I'll try that tomorrow at a park down the street. -

Thank you! I was talked out of painting my wheels black if you look back a couple of posts back. Now I think I'm going to redo them using the GrimmSpeed BBS matching paint!- SirMyztiq

Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
I should add that this happens only when I turn the steering quickly. If I turn it slowly it does not vibrate but when I turn it quickly to the right they vibrate heavily. I should add that it only does it when turning the steering wheel to the right. Any input will help! -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
Alright so after visiting the hardware store and finding the 10mmx14mmx2mm O-ring and replacing it. The fluid goes up and down in the bottle when the engine is off and we turn the steering wheel. There seems to no longer be any bubbles. However, after turning on the car and doing the same... -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
It takes a while? I see, maybe we are being impatient. The guy at O'Reillys said it can take up to two hours. I went and bought the O-ring for the pump anyways. I'm going to keep on turning. Here is a video of what is happening: As you can see, as soon as we start the car there are many more... -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
Quick update: So, we are currently turning the wheel, jacks up with the car off. We noticed that the bubbles are still there but only when turning the steering wheel to the left. When turning right there is no bubbles. When turning and locking to the left there is some bubbles. Does that mean... -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
I'm not sure, I'll check and get back to you. The car doesn't come with one does it? As soon as I fill it up it begins to jump out. It is just weird! I'm going to try turning the wheels manually like some others recommended. Have you seen that before, the liquid being all "jumpy" as if it was... -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
After a good test drive, the issue still persists. We left it idling for a while, gave it a couple of spins around the neighborhood but it hardly improved. When the reservoir is full, there is a lot of "jumpy" liquid. The sort of bubbles you get when you blow into a straw in a drunk. We... -

So after we put everything back together, and all the hoses were attached correctly. We of course, labeled them all, the car started. But then the stupid little TGV actuators we removed(we didn't know what they were, but they were in the way) weren't sprung up properly. Hell, we actually put the...- SirMyztiq

SirMyztiq's Selena
So after two weeks of waiting to get her fixed, this is what COBB ended up fixing: New SS uppipe and all sorts of gaskets I can't remember New Y-pipe New turbo inlet And even after all that, she was still leaking. At this point, knowing that it was Thanksgiving break coming up, I decided to...- SirMyztiq

Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
Alright! I'm going to try that today. We did something similar to that but we weren't sure if we should leave the cap on or off. I hope this fixes it. -
Getting rid of air in Power Steering System
My brother and I are at our last hump. When we moved the steering pump to take off the intake manifold, we let air into the system. The car screeches and whines when I turn the steering wheel and it sometimes gets extremely hard. I can see tons of bubbles inside the canister. I've looked around... -
Code Intake Manifold Runner Stuck Open
Well, online I found a way that didn't require taking off the manifold. You place the sensor motor at the 12 o'clock position then wind it up until the bolts line up and it goes past it just a bit then bolt it on. We did have to take off the intercooler though but that was small potatoes...
