91 Turbo Diesel - Power Steering Vibration

[stephens64]

Can anyone help ? my LN130 import drives and steers ok when on the move, but when stationary you get severe vibration when you try and turn the steering wheel, ie when manoeuvring whilst parking etc.

Hows the power steering oil level? it may be low on oil.

The belt is loose.

The belt is loose.

..... or a combination of this and a loose bolt. The pivot bolt that mounts the pump to the bracket, is known to come loose (happened to me recently) and tightening the belt just puts more strain on this and can damage the bolt, because the pump moves around.

Fluid seems ok, as does belt tension - i think pump is going :-(

Anyone know how to get replacement ?

The belt needs to be tighter than you think (and tighter than the manual says). Also if the belt is worn, it may not be sitting correctly in the pulley.
