Would you recommend a truck steering stabilizer if I plan to do a lot of off-roading with my Chevy?
For frequent off road driving a stabilizer would be the way to go. It can help keep control of the vehicle better and prevent any rollover accidents.
What would cause a HICAS warning light to go on?
Low power steering fluid usually
What would cause the steering to suddenly go out on your 2005 silverado?
EVO sensor. Also known as steering speed sensor. Bad power steering pump, hose broke.
What would cause a steering column to go out?
excessive wear and tear (offroading and such) or faulty parts are the only things I can think of
Can a leaking power steering reservoir cause your battery to go flat?
no
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.
Which hole does stabilizer bushings go in?
You would have to tell us the make, model and year for technical questions like this.
How do you fix death wobble on my jeep wj?
So many things can cause this, start with the steering stabilizer, use an aftermarket ubit, but that probably isn't all of the problem, death wobble usually involves many worn components of the front suspension so if the steering stabilizer does not stop the wobble start replacing bushings and rod ends, prioritize the replacement by inspecting each set for wear or signs of wear like shiny metal, new shocks will help, but again is probably only a part of the problem. In my case I replaced stabilizer and shocks and it improved, but did not go away completely, I then went to alignment, improved still, but not perfect, then I replaced the trac bar bushings and it went away completely.
If the belt on a 1993 Pontiac Bonneville got lodged between the pulley and the motor would this cause the power steering to go out?
I would be more apt to believe that the power steering pump failing would have caused the belt to jump off and become lodged between the pulley and the motor than the other way around.
How important is stabilizer linkage?
Stabilizer links act as components of auto suspensions, connecting several other parts that take much of the punishment as you pass over pot holes and other road imperfections.FunctionModern cars use segmented suspensions. Stabilizer or sway bars have stabilizer links. The stabilizer bar holds pairs of wheels connected, while stabilizer links hook this larger piece with arms that go up to the wheels themselves. Ball joint connections enable turning and suspension travel. SignificanceStabilizer bars links improve handling and shock absorption, keeping the car from swaying too much as you turn--which could lead to loss of control. Adding stabilizer links between the main bars and the wheels refines this process of control, so cars handle "tight." TypesWith the prevalence of pot holes and bumpy roads, your entire suspension needs to withstand shocks, so stabilizer links employ cast iron, steel and alloy in their construction. Most have at least one ball joint for connecting with adjacent suspension components. A minority of stabilizer links lack ball joints altogether. Japanese and European car makers often employ this flat type.IdentificationYou can identify stabilizer links by looking for ball jointed metal connections next to the wheels. Mechanics may refer to them simply as ball joints. Related but different parts of the suspension, such as idler and Pitman arms, can be found at the center of the undercarriage below your steering wheel. Most stabilizer links measure around 10 to 15 inches.EffectsWorn stabilizer links affect steering, ride and fuel efficiency. Symptoms include a creaking or screeching noise as you pass road imperfections, plus wobble, skip and "dead zones" in steering. Don't overlook these signs, as broken stabilizer links can lead to loss of controlRead more: What Is a Stabilizer Link on a Car? | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/facts_5006367_what-stabilizer-link-car.html#ixzz15zvDBkud
How do you fix the power steering in a 2005 Saturn ION?
the most of the time you have to replace the whole steering column.My wife had one that go down the road and the steering would go out. I just replaced the hole column
What is the cost of converting from standard steering to power steering?
That would depend on the kind of car and engine size. The best way to go about it would be to price it at a wrecking yard.
