Where do you add/check power steering fluid?

The black round tank in the engine compartment. It is hydraulic fluid for everything. It's just inside the compartment and slightly on the right. Noel

Are you getting noise and vibration from the steering?

BUS4US · 01-22-2014, 09:31 AM

Robert,

Have you ever been in a pinch point with your coach and you have just a couple of feet to go back and forth each time having to turn the wheel all the way from left to right to manuever your way free? This is something new that I incurred on New Year's Day separate from my vibration issue.

At one point during this process, I could not even pull the steering wheel to the opposite direction. It was like an old truck without powersteering. I had to stand up and pull it with both hands. Never had this before. I wonder if anyone else ran into this problem? I was not in a rut, mud, or ditch. I was in a dirt and gravel combo. Very strange. First time for this.

Ron.

I just got off the phone with Spartan CS 10 minutes ago. Great conversation with a very knowledgeable person, Shane, who answered a number of questions including the power steering pump feedback. They have tried a fix for the feedback on a number of coaches and it has worked so far. Engine light on: code means the DEF tank sensor says it is to warm, possibly a bad module. Highly recommended an all axle alignment which Entegra covers. Also the 44 point inspection. Ended the conversation with strong confidence we are in good hands. My plan is to make an appt for mid April on the way back up nord.

Swenster, bettr hurry with that appointment, they get booked up pretty far in advance and it may already be tight getting an appointment. Call today.

Don't go get an all wheel alignment thinking that Entegra will automatically cover it. They will cover it only if there is an issue (pulling, wander, etc.), if you do it just for verification the work is on you.

Makes sense to me.

I sure don't need it. My coach tracks straight as an arrow.

I have been chasing an odd vibration in the back of my coach that my wife and 3 technicians can't feel, seems only I can feel it. I am ready to accept that it comes from spending most of my professional career being sensitive to vibrations!

Mine also tracks very true!
