(1) My front left brake is rubbing and pulling my car to the left and making the steering wheel vibrate.

Should I change the front disc/s , will it solve the problem?

(2) I leaking power steering fluid from the steering rack gaitor at a very high rate, the motor gets really load and I`m unsure how to fix the problem

Please help coz I love my calibra

For problem one, It is more likely a sticking caliper, you could try just removig it and trying to clean/free it up. but i dont think new ones are too expensive from a motorfactor?

For your second problem, i am afriad this means that your power steering rack is leaking, and will need to be swapped out for a reconditioned unit before you have a more serious failure leading to a sudden complete lack of power assistance (not nice on these cars, they are very heavy steering when the pas goes)

The good news is i dont think swapping the pas rack is a major job on the 8v!! but i migth again be wrong [img]/wink.gif[/img]
