My Estima ACR50 year 2007 got problem with steering, very heavy to turn right dan left. Anyone can help me!

Are u just changed the battery? The steering ecu need to diagnosis with the angle sensor, also the function with afs. If it happened long time ago, maybe the steering ecu burned. Diagnosis can know the condition. Acr50 from Japan all using motorized steering so that u cannot found the power steering reservoir in the engine bay. That's y some model come with the auto parking system. Then the steering can turning by the ecu. When diagnosis the P/S (power steering) will blink. If it's the new face lift. There will be a steering icons. Both in red colour.

Acr30 is the previous model of Acr50. The main difference except interior n exterior is the transmission from 4speed to cvt.
Acr50 in hybrids is Ahr20. The first model of acr50 launch in Japan is 2006 January. The facelift launch in 2009.
Anywhere just beware the Japan banjir car.

My estima has 'pong pong pong' sound coming from the front suspensions I believe when go on uneven surfaces...

Anyone knows of any workshop that's good in diagnosing this problem?

Thanks.

[mitkey]

I have a problem.

since I am using 4 wheel drive GSR50, when I change tyre, I must change all 4 at once ?

so my standard tyre size is 215/60/R17 but I change to 215/55/R17, any problem ?

I just bought an old 3rd hand 2004 Estima Hybrid. Its model is AHR10W. It is actually based on the ACR30, but with a lot of modifications to the engine, transmission and other smaller things like the display. The engine is also modified based on the original 2AZ-FE to become 2AZ-FXE, 2.4 litre engine, which uses a more efficient Atkinson Cycle. It uses CVT, which I think is unique to the hybrid variant.

Other things are like the brake system. It auto regenerates electricity upon depressing the accelerator or pressing the brake. And finally the Multi-Info touch screen display will show the flow of engine power and / or electricity when it is engaged.

I am truly impressed with the fuel consumption. Others have reported a consumption of 5 - 8 km / litre. I am constantly getting 11.5 km / litre in KL city driving!! Also another thing worth noting is that since the electric motor drives all 4 wheels, it indirectly becomes a 4-wheel drive monster in certain driving conditions. That includes hard cornering, when the electric motor drives the 4 wheels, it handles corners with no understeer whatsoever!! Those beemers better eat my dust! HAHAHAHA!!!
