I tried seaching and not finding the quick easy answer. I just picked up a salvage 1991 president light hit on the front but the susp is all the way down ( A bugger to get towed I might add). I am need of an idea of where to start looking. Basiclly I need the trouble shooting guide. I will post pics of the project soon.

P.S. I am famalier with Q45's I had owned 5 others, but no active cars.

Never towed! Always flatbedded, unless you are also replacing your transmission!

When I said towed I meant decked, but the car is so low it was on the ground low before the wheels left the deck.

I finally took some pics.

Plus I may have discovered my problem. The car hit a man hole cover and has damaged some the power steering hoses and fittings plus some yet to be determined damage.

Thanks for all the help.

On a side note does any body recognize the wheels I need all 4 centers and it may be cheaper to buy the right ones as opposed to getting some machined up?

I had to swap to a non active susp from my 1991 Q45 parts car. It is running and driving but no power steering. Don't know why but have not had a chance to investigate the issue.

The active pump has the PS pump mounted on the back of it.

The pump has been replaced with another active type pump but it doesn't appear to be building any pressure. Pulled the line right off of the pump and no flow except at high rpm's. I am at a loss.
P.S. JDM pumps and north american pumps are not the same I made the NA one fit but is solinodes on it that the JDM doesn't.
