Great start to the video, I was sticking around for the common noises, I hear and feel like a clunk when I turn, more so to the left then the right but both (this is following a steer blow out on my right tire a couple of days ago) belt snapped no warning! Can’t find a video on KZfaq actually explaining how the axels, tie rod, steering components, everything needing to steer, trying to have an idea on what could be wrong thank you!

I had an issue when I would turn either way & clunk noise and feel a little pull. My drag link was bad. It had a lot of play.

2019 volvo vnl 760 a little indication of turning either direction you'll hear/feel a small grinding happening. Hub oils full, no sign of spillage and temperature of it also felt properly warm. There is some steering play I must say, but going just beyond that you'll hear the grinding/noise vibration.

Needed the camera to follow your explanation throughout the video instead of a fixed position

YES definitely, I say the same to other youtubers. Not everyone is a mechanic and it is better to follow on the explanation.

How can you differentiate a bad steering box vs a bad pump ? Can you make a video or provide a link if there's one already posted in your channel. Thanks, good stuff

How about the tie rod ? I replaced the drag link and the tie rods and the both fail in 3 months...any idea what cause that ?

@carlosvelarde4753 Ай бұрын

I have a Cascadia Freightliner that I converted to a Dump Truck. I reinforced & lifted the front end suspension. My drag link is bad and I am replacing but my steering wheel is not centered. It now sits @ 10 & 4 oclock when its centered. Will alignment fix the issue? What is the proper fix?

My gear box just went out. The truck is a 2007 century class. The box was smoking hot. I told the mechanic,something is burning! The fluid tank was hot, hoses,you coutouch them. There is only 4 gear boxes in the entire country. $1700.00 Power steering pump is in st Louis around $300. I had no warning of any problem. Just BAM . The mechanic never seen anything like it.

@BadrKhalladi Жыл бұрын

Where are you located?? I took my truck that I just purchased from pedigree to freightliner and they couldn’t figure out what’s the problem that I’m feeling with the steering wheel … everybody is saying it drives normal because no one is over the road with me driving 10 hours and getting drastically tired of it…. They test drove it and said it’s normal when you hit bumps but trust me I know when something is not right ! All I drove since I started trucking 3 years are cascadias so I’m pretty sure something is off !!! I’d love it if you can check my truck and see what’s wrong 🙏🏼! Would be nice to hear from you

Excellent vid. Whenever I do slow turns, I can hear something in my column, and it feels slightly off. Could that be filter related? Still have power steering

@pescad0 Жыл бұрын

Just chiming in to say that a filter swap fixed it

What if you accidentally add gear oil lubricant into the power steering unit, Will it cause it harm and what needs to be done?

@LRMLeasing 7 ай бұрын

We would urge you to flush the system and replace with Dexron 3 or an equivalent power steering fluid as well as replacing the filter.

Where do you drain the steering wheel fluid?

@vicpetrishak7705 8 ай бұрын

Remove the power steering return line and secure it into a 5 gallon bucket . Start engine and continually add to the reservoir till new fluid is seen pouring into the bucket , shut down . Have a friend start and stop the engine , be in neutral .
