There is write up on how to rebuild the stock pump in the Toy FAQ. "http://128.83.80.200/taco/box.html" is a guy that sells all the seals and has a write up or Toyota of Dallas sells rebuild kits as well. You can get em rebuilt and tapped from a variety of vendors for a pretty good price if you choose to go the hydro assist route like myself and many others have done.

Does it sound like I need to rebuild the gear box? I don't like just trying stuff to see what fixes what. In my job I troubleshoot stuff all day long and am trained and encouraged to not waste parts trying to fix stuff and I like to bring that thinking home with me as well. Besides its cheaper

To troubleshoot, plumb in a pressure gauge into the high side of the pump and see what it reads.

Okay putting a pressure gauge on it sounds cool. Any clue how much pressure I'd be looking for or what I'd be looking for? A drop when turning or something?

Also are the rebuild kits expensive?

Here is the section from a 93 FSM, read pages SR-42 to SR-44.

The seal kits run about fifty to sixty dollars, if you had gone to the web page I posted you would have known that. Some time on here we give you places to go to to get the answers you need, so read.

I think stock pressure is in the 750-1000psi range. I used a 2000-3000psi gauge on mine. What I found was that I was not getting much pressure, turned out to be a leaking seal in the steering ram (hydro assist) and that was bleeding all the fluid out of the box and not letting the pressure build. You should see a low pressure sitting and then it should jump up when you need steering assist.

I'm gonna take that as a severe insult. I"m not some dumbass noob to the internet. I've been around longer than this site has exsisted and was on this site over 7 years ago and got bored of it for a bit. I'm also a mod on many sites and I have never told someone to read something instead of just anwsering there questions. Yal really got to get less sensitive to people asking questions. Now I"m back and I did read all links that were given to me including most of that FAQ which is very good, but did not see anything except sales crap about the steering products and no prices of any type.

You can ask questions 1000 times and then ask 1000 more and still get more valid information about the subject. Learning is a life long journey.

Well your not a mod here and welcome back to the pirate board newbie :flipoff2:

 

sounds like the pump need to be replaced if it's squeaking and such

Take it any way you want to, I really do not give a shit. As I said before, if you had gone to the web page I posted you would have known how much they cost. I have been cruising the internet for about ten years and if someone gives me a link to a question I asked, I go to it and do not get butt-hurt about it.
