I can't believe it my Power steering pump failed on my Newage. I have never heard of 1 go yet to be honest.

Still pumped fluid but not up to the pressure it should be.

Easy fix though and found 1 for good money.

I am just miffed as never heard of them going on a Newage before and normally bomb proof!

I know someone who had a pump that was a bit weak, played up at Cadwell and the 1st round of Scoobysprint.

Yeah just heavy steering unless you was driving or heavy on round abouts. Reminded me of driving my old Rs Turbo! lol

You sure it is the pump ? I had the same symptoms but turned out to be the lower steering joint had got fried because I had removed the cat with heat shield from the down pipe .... new joint and a fabricated heat shield and all is now good.

Deff the pump mate as already put the new pump on and now works a treat.

Although what you just said I have heard of before,

I think *Nate*'s one failed IIRC and he replaced it with a Blobeye setup.

i think mines is on the way out, steering feels very notchy, something else to add to the list. Already got another one sitting from a hawkeye spec d.

Make sure your steering rack isn't bent 1st mate, Get the front wheels off the ground and see if it turns side to side with no problems at all,
