so i have been driving around no problem until last night i parked at a friends house who has a dip in their drive way that i always scrape on. sooooo i decided that if i parked at an angle i wouldn't scrape. boy was i wrong. were about to leave and we still have ice every where on the ground so i start baking out and i slip a little and it shifts my car to and makes it a little straighter which causes me to scrape. i make it out and it sounds like a usually does when it hits so i think nothing of it. i go to drive a friends home and my power steering starts going out i fill it with fluid and by the time i get home with is like less than a mile the power steering fluid tank is empty one i get into my garage i look at all the damage. the sh*t is F**ked the bumper is barley on there all the clips broke one of the grils is lost from when i scraped and allo the steering fluid is leaking on the floor. so i think i am just going to file an insurance and fix the hose and get a new bumper. anyways im pissed and sad and pissed ill post pics later does anyone know where to get an s4 bumper i want another one and i dont think i want to go with a rieger rs4 one

 

you might also need a new power steering rack and/or pump after running it dry like that. thats a fun install.

 

Rack and pump will be fine, it takes a lot of dry running to destroy them.

And even then, if run at high rpm with no fluid, over time, the damage is limited to the pump, never the rack.

 

my pump is brand new and it wasn't completely i think it will be fine and i am not doing any of the work body shop all the way insurance

 

wtf kind of dip is this?

 

From now on maybe you should just park on the street at your buddies house
