So basically this is my problem...can't seem to figure it out. (Sorry can't be arsed to type it out)

Fluid level looks good, belt looks alright...could be rack and pinion or rack failure, but it was pretty sudden (didn't do it, then did it the next day). Only other thing, got advisories on MOT about the ball joint boots being corroded, but they said they were ok still? Can't see them diminishing in less than a week? 🤔😕

So it's definitely the pump...sourcing a new (used) one at the moment.

 

Anyone ever run a power steering cooler? Looking at getting a little Mishimoto universal cooler. According to a few tests it makes a difference, especially on some of those little "spirited" runs. Also seen a few drifters say it's cost effective over purchasing a new pump every season as it dramatically helps improve the lifespan of the PS pumps.
