Gentlemen, It's been a while. On my '99 D1 I've been having power steering/alingment problems. The vehicle pulls to the right. Got the alignment done at NTB. This corrected the problem for sometime and it's back to where it was. Still pulls to the right. Second problem, power steering fluid leak. Tightened some loose clamps. Doesn't leak so bad now. But since the time I've had the D1, the steering seems not so supple at all. In parking lots I have the most difficult time turning the wheel. Also on twisty mountain roads the steering wheel becomes a little stiff. Is there anyway I could do some kind of fluid flush or add some additional dampening?? Just for kicks, I went to the local Rover Dealer to try out a similar '99 D1 which didn't seem to have any power steering issues. Any ideas/suggestions or similar experiences please do let me know. Thanks. -PGK | ||

Pulling to the right could be a sticking brake. or the Alignment needs to be done again. (if the last person didn't tighten everthing down real tight it could have worked loose. Steering add some Lucas Power steering stop leak. It does wonders. I called to check compatiblity and the guy from Lucas said that there is not issues with Land Rovers (I asked because the Land Rover uses Transmission fluid instead of PS fluid) Worth every penny. |
