1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Man, I need my sliders welded on.

 

Ok.. I think I found the power steering issue. Majorly dirty fluid and a clogged reservoir screen.

Pulled the reservoir loose and extracted the old cruddy fluid out using my MitiVac oil extractor pump.



The old fluid had a lot of sediment in it. I can see why the pump was screaming if this was blocking the screen.



Stuck the reservoir in Kerosene to give it an initial cleaning. Then I'm soaking it overnight to clean in simple green.

I was able to run the extractor tube down inside the pressure and return hoses to remove fluid from them with the front up on jack stands.

Turning the steering wheel lock to lock with the wheels up in the air caused more fluid to come out.

I'll know tomorrow if this works.

The rack, hoses, and reservoir were all new 1 year ago.

I guess something that I get into off-road is causing the fluid to get dirty faster than normal.

 

Bring em with you and hit up Sergio

 

Ok is it true that E rated tires will have more tread depth than C rated?
