vf commodore power steering problems Page 5

The VF Commodore's power steering system, while generally robust, has been known to throw a few tantrums over time. Common issues include:

• Power steering pump failure, often heralded by whining noises.
• Leaks in the hydraulic lines, leading to a slow or non-responsive steering feel.
• Intermittent loss of power assist, especially on early models.

Owners should also keep an eye out for worn steering rack components which can make the wheel feel loose or unsteady. Regular servicing and using the correct power steering fluid can stave off many of these woes. For detailed diagnostics and parts, ServiceCentral and Tradingpost might have some gems.
