Arm going to driver wheel is spinning but wheel is not turning. What would cause this?Jwb014 - 1994 Honda Civic - Steering & Suspension - 3/29/2012There is a clanking noise around the front driver tire. Use to just clank when turning, now it clanks constantly and the wheel is not moving at all, but the arm going to the front driver wheel is spinning.
-
9/16/2011 BobbySounds like the tie rod end probably broke off. The clanking was possibly it being bad and it finally just broke. -
3/29/2012 lets fix itwhat you probably have is broken cv shaft. the clunking noise on turns was the shaft bearings clunking in their housing and now since they are broken the part of the shaft connected to the trans is still spinning but the part connected to the wheel is stationary

Power steering fluid spitting out of my reservoir 20 seconds after startup??b_RabbiT - 1995 Honda Accord - Steering & Suspension - 3/22/2012So i replaced my alternator today, in order to get to it i had to remove my power steering pump, i removed the hoses from the mounts on the pump while doing so.. i set the pump aside and replaced my alternator.. after hooking everything back up, starting my car, ran ...-
3/21/2012 EG9 K20A3sounds like some kinda crimping in the hoses or the pump may have some blockage in the lines..
If you have checked/tried the following:
- Replaced cap
- Checked pump and hoses no visible leaking with engine running and turning wheels.
- Checked hoses to rack for leaking.
- Is the pump bad?
There is a screen in the supply tube at the bottom of the fluid reservoir.This screen becomes restricted and the fluid returning is greater than the fluid leaving.This causes the overflow you are having.
Try to clean by removing the reservoir and back-flushing in a parts washer. Be careful to get all the solvent out of the reservoir after cleaning.
3/21/2012 b_RabbiTthanks for helping.. i highly doubt the pump is bad i've never had a problem with it before, if i start it and turn the wheels will fluid spit out my reservoir to remove air? because that's what it's doing. i start it, and 20 seconds later it starts literally flowing out of my reservoir cap and stops when i cut it off.. the fluid is full of bubbles that's what makes me think it's just air? should i run it turn my wheels and let it spit fluid out and hope its removing air n will stop? lol idk :/
3/21/2012 b_RabbiTthe hoses aren't bent or kinked anywhere idk i've never dealt with power steering before
3/22/2012 EG9 K20A3Haha, not a bad idea since that is what i would do if you said everything checks out. -
3/22/2012 EG9 K20A3Keep me posted, i too wanna get to the bottom of this, i hope someone else chimes in because frankly im about to get stumped if that didnt work
