stoo2000 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 First of all a few small checks that will not cost you a penny, jack the car up, put the front on axle stands so you dont flatten yourself, ask some one else to turn the wheel from lock to lock see if anything is fouling a linkage, or the wheel is touching the arch liner, Although in a jacked up position you may not see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huskyboypro Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 i will get out and jack it up tomorrow and have a look see if i can see anything if i cant see any sign of leaks what would you say it was ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoo2000 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'm not sure, it could be a few things, I've not had a P/S problem before on an Escort. If you need a replcement rack though, they should not be too expensive from a motor factors, my Escort Cosworth one was about £150 exchange.
