What would cause brakes and steering to go out at the same time on a 1996 gmc safari van?
Power steering pump failure, has power brake assist line conected to it. It uses the power steering pump to bring hydraulic pressure to master cylinder.
Will a small leak at the master cylinder on a 1978 Lincoln MK V cause the steering to become heavy at slow speeds and the master cylinder to make a groaning noise when turning or under heavy braking?
No, the leak in the master cylinder does need to be addressed but will not cause the power steering to be affected. This model has a Hydro Boost system, that simply means that the power assist for the brake system is provided by the power steering pump (as opposed to vacuum from the engine). If the power steering pump fluid is low or is not pumping sufficiently due to internal wear or if the power steering belt is loose, this could cause the steering to be hard to turn. The power steering pump is apparantly not providing enough volume of pressurized power steering fluid to keep the steering "light". It could be an indication of worn internal seals or pump, or it could just mean that the engine is idling a little low. BTW, Ford power steering pumps tend to groan, especially when the vehicle gets a little older. The "Master Cylinder" only operates the brakes, but there is such a thing as a "clutch" master cylinder as well, but I suspect that your Lincoln has an Automatic Transmission, so that doesn't apply. If you truly do have a leaky master cylinder, it must be replaced or repaired immediately so that you don't have problems stopping. If it's just hard to push the brakes, it could be the result of low engine vacuum, which is used to provide the vacuum boost to the power brake module. If your vehicle is equipped with the "Hydro Boost" system then it is good possibility. this system works on fluid from the power steering pump to power the brake booster. look at your system, if you have pressure hoses running from your power steering pump to somewhere near the back of the master cylinder, then you have that system
Why does an Automatic dry-pipe fire sprinkler system sometimes have air and sometimes does not?
Being a licensed master plumber and a licensed master fire suppression piping contractor all I can say if a dry system has no air pressure YOU HAVE MAJOR problems and need to have the air pressure replenished
Where is the master brake cylinder on Isuzu NPR?
The master brake cylinder is under the dash beside the steering colum
Why would power steering leak through the firewall?
power steering pressure hose is spraying on firewall is the only thing it could be, unless the vehicle is equipted w/ a hydroboost brake system then ck the hydroboost. this takes the place of a break vacuume booster behind the master cylinder
What putting techniques are there?
Putting is one of the more important parts of your golf game, but it can be difficult to master. There are a wide variety of techniques including pop putting, pace putting, and Cross-handed putting.
How do you calibrate compound gauges?
using master vacuum gauge and master pressure gauge
How does one remove brake master cylinder on a Citroen Xantia 1.9 Diesel the garage says it may needs to take the engine out to get at it as there is little room is this correct?
Being a Citroen Xantia,it doesn't have a brake master cylinder. The brakes and power steering both work from the hydraulic pressure of the suspension system
Does the master cylinder have anything to do with the rack opinion?
The master brake cylinder has nothing to do with the rack and pinion steering. In some vehicles the power steering box and the power brake booster share the same hydraulic power assist system.
Will putting power steering fluid in your master cylinder cause your brakes to lock up?
The P/S fluid will ruin the rubber seals in the brake system causing brake failure. Take the vehicle to garage asap for necessary repairs for your safety and for others.
How can you get into your trunk of your 1993 Lexus ls 400 without remote or the master key the car is not locked but the trunk lever will not open?
I came across this problem. There is a lock below the steering wheel that will cause the trunk lever to disengage when it is pushed in. Use the master key to turn the lock (located below the steering wheel). It must be the master key. Without the master key you will need to remove the lock (located below the steering wheel). Good luck.
Key is stuck in the ignition of 97 VW Cabrio and you cannot turn it to start or turn to remove?
it sounds like you need a master cylinder from the dealer make sure your wheel-lock isn't putting pressure on the ignition
