or powersteering pump.

Any experiences in evos and lancer of your pump going? What were the symptoms?

So far, mine quiet, fluid level good, BUT, steering effort getting noticeably more difficult. it still centers good after a corner.

Could be the tires getting more traction as the wear (Hankook RS-3's)

But I eh sure. They tramlining like a m%$#(#f&^#& these days too. Have to keep both hands on the wheel.

lemme hear allyuh nah.

are your steering ends and shocks good?

Inner and outer brand new OEM (about 5000kms). Shocks....not so much!

What about your LCA bushings? Also ball joints etc.

try changing the tyres front to rear and see if that makes a difference. Also flush the steering rack and have new fluid put in.

have seen this when tyres are wearing, less thread for flex
try the ps flush too if never done

New bushings same time as ends.

Ball joints good.

Will definitely do the tyres front to back and see, as the back have more tread.

yuh check yuh tyre pressure?dat does make ah big difference!!

low profile tyres tramline like crazy ... that's a fact....especially if you running high pressure. I've always experienced tramlining ... with Potenzas before and now with Proxes T1Rs. And this is with a new Eibach suspension setup with full Energy suspension bushing kit. And it does get worse as the tyres wear out

Always. 34 PSI in all four, check regularly. Including yesterday, just in case.

Any reason for 34? I usually run 32 front / 28 back. On another note, can't remember any difference in steering feel when I switched from the stock wheels to the wider rims with R888's. It tramlines a lot though.

CB make sure yuh PS belt have enough tension i've seen some belts slack without even making a screeching noise fuh u to think is the belt!!

yes, the hankooks have a fairly soft sidewall. And 32/28 would be too soft for my liking. it was different from the day I put them on. More effort, one time. But as they get worn, it seems to be worse. Still haven't gotten a chance to rotate front to back though.

I dont think it's the belt though.

Interesting: I run 36-32 on the N1000s I have on.

I run 2 more than stock cause my tyres are heavier than most

Shock Top Mounts?

Are you on HTR-ZIII?

Shock top mounts brand new OEM. I think it's the pump guise. Tyres are much stickier than the sumitomos. Hankook RS3.

so you replaced the fluid and still doing it then...

Nope. Didn't bother.

Did you get the shock top mounts locally? If so where?

Also is the pump making any noise? When last was fluid changed?

Pump starting to make some noise. Never changed fluid. Yes, Teknet had them in stock, and if he doesn't he can get it quickly.

Thanks got them today, thankfully he had in stock.

I know a guy who may have an evo 9 pump for sale

crazy change fulid

also I tramline like crazy with 255 series. what size are the tires?

Changed the pump. it helped. BUT it still stiffish. Which is definitely the tyres. I was getting a non linear kinda feel from the other pump, it's better now.

Tyres run wide. They are 245, but rubbed when new on a 8 1/2" 31 offset rim.

Hmm i run 245 but 17s
Maybe its de 18s u running

I only track bad on 255s
Gonna upgrade the rear to 255 this month. Leaving the front 245.

thought running different width/offset tyres on an AWD was a 'no no' ???

Different tyre sizes such as 17 + 18 is a no. Widths doh make a difference. But i could be wrong.
