Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / October 2004EB2 Power Steering
Hello Trying to work out what the problem is with my EB2's power steering. Annoying shuddering through the steering wheel when you do a 3 point turn or straighten up in a parking bay etc. Replaced the belt as it was old and crappy, with no change (Belt tightened correctly) Would a slight leak in the high pressure hose cause this? Cheers CM you could try flushing the fluid & put in some additive > Hello > Trying to work out what the problem is with my EB2's power steering.

What kind of additive are you referring to? Cheers CM > > Hello > > Trying to work out what the problem is with my EB2's power steering.

I would check your power steering unit for leaks and such, as it sounds like there is a leak some where in your circuit. Usual place they can leak is at the pressure switch, where the alloy top joins onto the soft metal base. If there is a leak shuddering can accur as you explained, also check the hosing might be cracked. Good luck Peter > Hello > Trying to work out what the problem is with my EB2's power steering.

Yeah I had some bushes replaced the other week and the guy said there was a possible leak in the high pressure hose. I'll have it looked at :) Cheers CM
