Power Steering: Fresh ATF+4 (Due to major leak)


Where is it leaking from? The top seal on my rack and pinion started leaking as the seal came up out of the hole it sits in. I'm gonna get it fixed next week though.

As for fluids:

Engine: Castrol GTX
Tranny: ??
Transfercase: ??
Diffs: Just replaced with Castrol 85-140 non-synthetic last night.
Wiper fluid: None cuz I broke the fraken reservoir when I kissed my bumper on a rock. Who decided to put that darn thing there???? Brilliant :lol: :lol:

When I bought it I had a minor leak in the high pressure hose. I had to top it off every few weeks or so, but it was more of a seep. The dealership agreed to fix it when I originaly bought it in January. They finally got the part in the second week in May and I took it in to get fixed on Thursday May 21st. On Saturday the 23rd I was on the way home and lost power steering. I refilled the reservior and started the engine and it was pouring out of where the high pressure hose connects to the rack. I used about 3 quarts of fluid to get it home. I got it back into the dealership, they paid for towing it the fifteen miles from my house, on Tuesday the 26th, and discovered the mechanic that did the repairs the previous Thursday forgot an 'O' ring. It's all fixed an working great now, hopefully the pump doesn't go out.

Good old Dealership reliability. (Pun)

I had them do my install of a 2.5 inch lift (as I didn't have a hydraulic spring compressor).
The rang me on my mobile and asked me "What are the big round things?".........Bumpstops !!!

So I thought to myself, These guy's don't know anything !!

I insisted on an inspection before reassembly. So they invited me into the workshop and allowed me to oversee the final assembly. What I didn't count on was the barrage of questions from the mechanics :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seems like that if it's not standard on the factory assembly line, then they don't know what it is and can't identify the part.
What is with mechanics nowadays?
