morgey Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Has anyone actually tried filing the rack with grease and getting rid of all the fluid ? are you going down the electric pump route morgy ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Also could anyone say weather removing the ps would make torque stear worse or slightly better my car is constantly trying to put me in a hedge I know a LSD is the ans but that's not an option at the min if removing the ps is going to make it worse I don't think I would bother until live got a LSD in the car it would almost make it un drivable if it was any worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Gone down the mrS pump route. It is a large pump so not ideal for boosted cars though. I've opted for this 1 because i like to keep parts oem toyota and in theory it should be able to be wired up to be speed variable, i wont be able to test it untill its back on the road though that's a tidy looking job that mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 YEah mate tht looks tidy. I would have thought it would have made it less noticeable. Surely the powersteering works in both directions. But that's just a guess. Would like to hear about this too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Mine with an lsd was pretty noticable, mines a ae111 oem helical (trd) item so torque biases so throws the power to whichever wheel has more grip/isnt spinning so that can cause worse torque steer than if it was a clutch type lsd which locks both wheels together.

Whitenoize Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 See mine has no LSD at the min and torque stear it's pretty savage I know a LSD would help sort that out but is removing the ps going to help or make things worse until I can aford to put a LSD in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I see what you're saying, in my head removing it would make it worse as you would have to apply more force to cou ter it. However i guess your thinking is with it being heavier from no PS, thats going to reduce the amount of torque steer as it would need more force to pull the steering.

Calum122 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 See I was thinking the latter. Unless the Powersteering has some sort of torque steer counter measure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However i guess your thinking is with it being heavier from no PS, thats going to reduce the amount of torque steer as it would need more force to pull the steering. that's what I was thinking tbh with the steering not being so light that I wouldn't have to put so much input in to correct it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 I know it's not going to solve the problem but any improvement would def help the way the car performs on the back roads giving the car gears and keeping it in a straight line can be a challenge at the best of times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 With power steering it can be easier to over counteract it. Leaving you zigzagging everywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leaving you zigzagging everywhere. yeah totally agree with this mate my car tends to pull me left and between trying to give it gears and correct the steering you can easily find yourself on the other side of the road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
