Last night I went sliding with a couple friends, long story short I have no power steering now. I checked out the pump for leaks and there is none, no weird noises, no bubbles, the belt is nice and snug around the poultry, and hoses are in tact. The only thing out of the ordinary was that when I first opened the hood it looked like pressure built up in the resivour and sprayed out a little fluid and I already filed it to the proper level. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcRAiKJ4cN8&feature=youtube_gdata_player and yes I know I have an open diff

 

Is there anything I should try?

 

you might have damaged the rack. no power at all turning left and right?

 

Stop sliding

 

Yea no power at all but the car turns but its just hard cuz no power steering

 

I take it u never tried it cuz its addicting

 

thats not sliding that just going around in circles. but yeah you need a power steering pump

 

could be the pump or rack. im leaning towards rack since you were sliding.

 

not much sliding, just going on circles,

 

i know that video wasnt sliding but thats wut i was doing when i lost my power steering

 

I say its the rack and pinion or the filter inside the power steering resevoir is damaged or clogged. Try a flush and then report back. Wouldnt hurt. Jmo.

 

nice rims
do a flush then work your way up trying to find the source of the problem

 

completed the flush with toyota atf and bled it and still the same :/

 

thanks just need some lexus or toyota center caps

 

Double ouch there bro. First of all, the weight of your vehicle in particular makes a lack of power steering nothing to sneeze at. Second of all, I've never tried drifting, but it does sound fun, so possibly needing to lay off in contrast doesn't. I may be speaking too soon, I'm not aware of any alterations you might have done. Seems like a guy like you would be more compatible with an IS rather than an SC, but whatev, mine isn't even running right now.
