Actually there are two problems. The first is the little link that connects the front bit of the 4ws sensor to the steering rack has broken.
I've temporarily bodgied it back together until a new part arrives.

The main problem is that my steering wheel turns 1 1/4 turns to the left an nearly 2 turns to the right.
I think the steering is centered properly as the rear wheels start turning at about 1 turn of the steering wheel in either direction.
Obviously this means I get a lot more rear steering in one direction than the other.
Maybe I'm losing travel in the front steering rack, or maybe its all setup wrong.
I have the soarer bible but unfortunately can't read the japanese 4ws bits.
Does anyone know how to do a full setup and rigging on the steering setup in a UZZ32.

1st off I would see a reputable Soarer specialist, Sports and Luxury cars, or a very switched on steering specialist.

Possibly related, possibly not.
Occasionally, my power steering seems to not work very well when turning left.

It doesn't seem to matter if its hot or cold, though its generally at low revs and below 60 km/h. most often when parking or un-parking, but I've had it happen turning down a side street at 60k's.

It seems an occasional thing and only when turning left.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ed, Jeff Harper put up a UZZ32 specific error code document a while ago. I could not find it in the search I did but your code could be in amongst that page.

Ed you are right. I just looked at it. It's been a while since I saw it and forgot exactly what was in it.

Well, I still havent figured out the setup of the whole contraption.

But the heavy steering thing went away for a while, and showed its ugly head today (turning right, not left).

The bad bit was it happened while I was moving in traffic, turning a corner.

The pump was making noises like when you hit full lock and keep turning.

Does this sound like a problem in the valve body or the pressure control valve? or the flow divider, or something else.

I wanted to wait a while before I pulled the rack and pump and other bits out, but perhaps this is a sign??

Could be your steering rack needs replacing or the small filter in the p/s unit has become clogged - I'm having the same problem ATM

Good thoughts, i'm hoping something like the filter.
I'd hate to think what an active rack would cost.

My car when I first got it told me the left rear wheel speed sensor was dead. Upon replacing it the car still said the same thing. So then I threw an accusing glance toward the abs/trc (32 specific) unit and replaced it. No more probs after that. The computer was crook and blaming everyone else.

Dan, I am not sure if this will help with your steering wheel turns as I am mechanically left handed, but have you thought of comparing your setup to the setup of another Active to see if there are any differences?

Might help, might not, but at least it won't cost anything.

Mine was located not next to the main ecu but behind the carpet against the front passengers footwell wall.
