Temp. loss of steering pump...
 

After I saw this thread http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-w...tml#post681145, I thought it might be a similar issue to what I encountered last night, but it wasn't. Although, it was steering related.

I was coming to a slow stop about to make a left-hand turn into a Domino's parking lot (dinner time) and all of sudden my steering felt like it had lost it's pump. Being at a dead stop and trying to turn from the center lane with no power-steering, now had became a small chore.

Of course once I parked, I jumped out to look for any fluid leakage and such and found nothing. No longer having an appetite, I headed back home trying to remember what time the stealership opened to get my Z in ASAP.

I struggled with the steering all the way home, but it was really only an issue on slow turns. As I pulled into my driveway, I felt the steering lighten-up. So, I backed out and took another spin and it was like nothing happened!

WTF...? :confused:

I haven't gone for a drive today, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that there are no further issues when I do.

Is Anyone else having intermittent steering pump issues?

Interesting. I know the 370Z has speed sensitive steering (higher speeds require more effort to turn the wheel), but this is the first issue relating to a malfunction.

It could also be your suspension binding on something if you are running coilovers.

You may want to take it into the dealer.

I agree, a trip to the dealer is needed, and there hasn't been many cases of the this issue. Let us know what they find, and good luck

Well, I do have a Stock NISMO suspension installed, but nothing that is technically aftermarket.

I guess a trip to the stealer is needed then... Unfortunately, this will have to wait 'til tomorrow. :shakes head:

Don't worry it should be covered under warranty.
