Okay I got 3 questions...
I've searched around a little and maybe I'm a noob with searching or maybe I didn't search deep enough. Either way here are my questions and I appreciate any help in advance
Powersteering:
I bought my car with a blown KA24E in it.... replaced the motor with another SOHC. Replaced the power steering line.... I needed to replace an o-ring on the pump itself or it'd leak all the fluid out. So for about 2 weeks I have been driving it with no fluid in it. I replaced the o-ring and topped the fluid off. Powersteering was working fine no noises or anything.... I drove around my apartment all excited.... I left my apartment and boom down the road it stopped working. I pulled over and checked my fluid and it was full. Was not leaking anywhere.
So the only thing I can think is running with 0 fluid for 2 weeks might of hurt the pump? Then again it worked for a few miles then stopped.... any ideas?
Hazzards :
My brakes/blinkers/reverse lights etc all work just fine..... I push my hazzard button and nothing. I checked the fuse in the kick panel and it's good. I replaced the actual switch and nothing.
Rucas:
I have Godspeed RUCAs... yes I know cheap. They squeek like hell on any little bumps...like LOUD and annoying... is there anything I can put on them to reduce the noise until I can afford some nicer RUCAs I guess....
Like I said....thanks in advance

Re: Powersteering / Hazzards / Rucas (thebab)
you re probably right about the pump going out. replace it and see where you are from there. and my suspension squeaks when its hot outside i use a little wd40 and mine goes away.
Replaced pump and it works now.... sprayed the rucas with wd40 and they are fine for now. I got some other spray from the store thats suppose to last through all weather conditions...so if the noise comes back I'll spray em with that.
The hazzards still have me confused
And I have a noise like an exahust rattle.. I thought it was the heat shield on the cat but it's not

Re: (thebab)
might be a pain but check the actual wiring. could be a break somewhere.

Yea, not looking forward to that...volcomskater773 wrote:might be a pain but check the actual wiring. could be a break somewhere.
More so worried about the rattling noise as it makes my car sound like a pos...and it's pretty constant over like 50mph I think... :P
I'll scope it out when I get some time.
