  • Power stearing oil filter

    Hi all,

    I have got a120 series prado. I have got a new stearing rack and pump ready to go in. Now i have heard that the reservoir has got a filter in the bottom of it.

    I have been to Toyota today and they have no filter in their system. They have no new reservoir available in the country, can take 3 to 4 weeks to get one out of Japan they recon.

    Has anyone else replaced this filter? And has an idea where to get it from?

    thanks

    The filter will just be a steel mesh to stop big particles similar to what's in the gear box. I don't believe there's any benefit in changing it unless the mesh has broken. If you want to protect your new rack, unbolt the reservior and clean it out with solvent and let it dry. There will no doubt be some crud in the bottom of the tank.

      Plumb a Magnefine transmission oil filter into the return line.

      and if you really want it to last install an auto transmission oil cooler (I used the biggest Davies Craig I could get at Supercheat) and you can make a $300 Chinese ebay rack last 8+yrs like I have!
      Must get around to rebuilding the original one day, hopefully before the cheap P.O.S. one fails!

        Yeah I did similar years ago, though I plumbed the steering oil return hose through the oil cooler in the radiator (mines a manual but with an aftermarket auto radiator). I have the magnefine in the return line also.

        OP
        You can carefully uncrimp the lid on the power steer reservoir and remove the plastic screen, they get pretty dirty over time - mainly from the "bakelite" type vanes in the pump wearing. It's easy to clean out and carefully recrimp the lid on. It has a rubber seal that can be reused. I used maxlife synthetic ATF to refill.

            Here's a vijeo with some info. I took a bit more care with the bending back of the tabs on the lid than this guy though. I used a straight pick to wriggle under them and roll them back
