    Steering cooler to pump hose leak

    Thanks guys. Im hoping to do this in the next week or two. I've got some hose and line clamps around from patching the old lines a couple years ago. If I need to replace in the future I'll consider those A-Premium hoses. Hopefully it never gets to that, as the three hoses were new less then 2...

    Steering cooler to pump hose leak

    Ive got a leaky power steering cooler to pump line. All lines were replaced 2 years ago along with the rack and pump. Crimped fitting is leaking. Should I get a new hose here... About $50 in Canada. Or do you think I can cut the hose and crimp fitting out and maybe splice in some hose...

    Dust Shields/backing plate - front hubs

    The scraping noises up front are getting to be a bit much. My front left drivers side is ungodly.. but it may be coming from both sides. 99% sure it's the backing plates. The noise has been spotty for years, but now it's bad. Just confirming, these can be cut away without replacing on...

    Steering Rack and Pinion rotation angle

    @far eastan Sorry to read about your troubles here. I replaced my Rack & Pinion last week with a New AAE 64242N from Rock Auto. I had zero issues with this part after installation and fit was excellent. Steering is much smoother than what came out but I also replaced all hoses as well. To...

    Power Steering Pump - New Whine after new components

    After splicing PS Return lines twice in the past 24 months, and a leaking Rack for about 18 months, the time came to update some steering components. When looking things over for a bi-annual saftey inspection, it became apparent that the passenger Inner Tie-Rod was gone, which was also the...

    Rack and Pinion Recommendations?

    Hey Everyone, I am looking for some advice on a Rack and Pinion. Mine is original to my '08 and the leak which start about 10 months ago is getting bad. I've got a couple patch jobs in my lines as well, it needs an overhaul. I've got a couple reasonable options for pricing here in Canada...

    08 LT Drivers Headlight Replacement

    I am looking for options/recommendations for replacing the drivers headlight on my 08 TB LT. It appears the wiring inside the headlight has corroded or now has a bare wire. When I shake the headlight I can get the lowbeam to light up, but it is only temporary and it is only working very...

    Clutch or Bearing Noise? - Getting Bad

    So, I finally got around to this chore. My daughter runs the TB around daily now, and she is away for the week, so I figured now was the time. I got the part @Mooseman suggested earlier in this thread back in January. This went quite smoothly. I followed the instructions for water pump...

    Clutch or Bearing Noise? - Getting Bad

    Thank you for the advice here! I've been unable to replicate the noise this week. I've tried switching the HVAC between Max Cool and Off, but no change. I can't see magnet or clutch engage/disengage or hear it, like I normally would. AC seems to be working just fine. Took the belt off...

    Clutch or Bearing Noise? - Getting Bad

    Seems about right.. Winter is here and my old TB doesn't seem to like it. I've developed a bad clutch or bearing noise somewhere in my serpentine belt system. I've taken the belt off and checked the pulleys/bearing on the idler, tensioner and alternator and they all seem fine. The water pump...

    Power Steering Line Repair or Replace?

    Thanks for all the info guys. Last week I grabbed hose recommended for PS and Transmissions from a local parts stores. Managed to cut out the pin hole without too much difficulty... splice in the hose. Double clamped it on both ends. It has been holding up great for the past few days. The...

    Power Steering Line Repair or Replace?

    I will check that out too. I did replace the PS cooler 2-3 yrs ago. Rusted out and leaked everywhere. At least it broke in July.

    @Mooseman Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to know and exactly what I will do to get by. I'll go the hose route for now.
