Hi all,
I had my land cruiser at a body shop for about a week... and when driving off I noticed that the steering made a low humming noise when I steered when stationery..
The noise now has increased and light resistance and very small vibration can be felt from the steering wheel only when turning when stationery… while driving works normally.
Power steering fluid is full… but oil has small bubbles when checked after turning the wheel.
Also tried to turn the wheels with the reservoir open and oil bubbled out... (don't know if this is normal)
To bleed the system I will have to jack the land cruiser, leave it idle and after some time turn it from lock to lock right?
The steering was fine when I last used it before entering the body shop and only sprayed front bumper and drivers side plastic arches.. What could cause this problem please?
Steering rack bushes have just been replaced with new ones.
Thanks,
Daniel
