| Steering hard when stopped or very slow speed |
|
Hi everybody 
early June I changed the steering of my D3:
- Rack Remanufactured
- New ball TRW
- Steering fluid Facom 006,030 DEXRON III
Parallelism done and everything is Ok ....................... except for a fortnight ...
- I find the sterring hardest as usual when stopped or at very slow speed.
- I also have a hard point random happens when I turn the wheel a bit to the right. As soon as I turn the steering wheel slightly to the left, the hard point disappears and I can turn back right without any gene.
by the way when it occurs impossible to turn the wheel right! if it was a waste of assistance it still turn it by forcing, right?
I do not have any weird noise pump and the rest of the time everything works perfectly.
Here's my questions :
- Having these symptoms appear since it's colder, could steering fluid be the cause of the "hardness"?
- Is it possible that the cardan of the column to which is attached the rack seized randomly ??
- Any other investigative idea is welcome
I am assuming that the rack and the ball joints are not involved as new or reconditioned and it worked fine since June.
the pump does not particularly sound.
thank you in advance
PS: sorry for my bad English
