[QUOTE="RCBL, post: 349869, member: 15145"] A lot has happened since early this month. My "wife" was swiped by a Kembara (ST**** driver was overtaking on the left lane) and hit the right side of my car including my right front wheel. Damage was mainly restricted to the front right of my car. A day later noticed a very large puddle of liquid below my car.....power steering fluid leak!!! After reading about steering rack problems, suddenly appeared that i might have one now. However, I do notice that they is no change in steering feel. Only loud whinning noise when I turn the car's steering. Noise is gone once I top up the power steering fluid (until the reservoir drains again until half left). I suspect, its either one of the hose connecting to the reservoir is loose or a broken seal (somewhere). Can anyone with experience with Steering Rack leak advise me? Would appreciate any advise from any forumer. While my car is undergoing surgery in a paint workshop, I have sourced parts for my suspension upgrade. Will let all know the end result. Below are pricing for parts sourced from a few places for reference: 1) Outer Lower Arm Ball Joint (Near the wheel)=RM72/pc 2) Inner Lower Arm Ball Joint = RM50/pc 3) Lower Arm Mounting (M3 Type) = RM144/pair 4) Front Absorber Mounting = RM72/pc 5) Rear Absorber Mounting = RM32/pc 6) Front Damper = RM23/pc 7) Rear Damper = RM28/pc 8) Bilstein B8 = RM2700 9) H&R=RM1050 [/QUOTE]
