Hello, I a having an issue with a Toyota 8FDU25 and its steering. When it was first reported, the steering was completely locked. I had to tow into shop as it could not steer. I have since replaced the orbital valve (hydrostatic steering valve) as well as the oil/hydraulic oil pump. I have removed the top bolt and spring from the flow divider and inspected the spring for any loss in retention - no loss.

I checked the steer axle cylinder - by disconnecting the hydraulic oil lines (L & R) from the cylinder. I tried steering to see if fluid was come out of one line and not another, which the steering was still very rough. I am out of ideas, would it be the oil control unit? Or could it steel be the hydrostatic?

Thanks I advance.

Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
