Hi, say my steering rack is empy along with my lines ( do to working on) and my power steering pump no longer works. If I just fill my reservoir will my rack fill at all or will I have to physically pull a line and fill the the rack?


Thanks.

 

You can refill the reservoir with Honda power steering fluid, then start the car and turn the steering side to side [lock to lock], then shut off the engine and recheck the fluid level. Repeat this a few times.

It is common for the fluid to foam somewhat on a 'new' fill up, and you may need to let the car sit for a few hours to let the air work out of the system.

 

Thanks... but say my pump is broken.. will the rack still fill with fluid by suction or is the only way for it to fill itself is with the pump?

If the pump is broken, what would be the point of adding fluid?

 

so the rack doesnt seize
