Thanks! Mine was just loose on my 89. Been refilling for a while thinking I’d need more time set aside to change other deals in the system. Watched this after an oil change and decided just to check.
I just rebuilt my pump. It was whining and squeeling while turning, even after a full flush and cleanout. No fluid in the VCV though. I'll post some detailed videos soon about the full rebuild process as it definitely wasn't as simple as some people make it out to be. I also used a rebuild kit which didn't have copper crush washers for the banjo connection (one on each side) They are both M16 x 24mm (16mm hole, 24mm outer). Mine leaked until I used new washers. The factory service manual doesn't even mention replacing them but people say do it every time.
Word to the wise on this. Be careful with this part. Old plastic becomes brittle with heat and age. Mine was ok but in the process of rebuilding my PS pump I broke off one of the VCV stems. Since a new VCV is $70 I carefully sanded the stem and surrounding plastic with 150 grit sandpaper, then glued it back on with JBWeld epoxy. The key was to do it so that the suction hose could go back on. You apply it, let it sit for an hour, then you can remold it a little with your fingers. After an hour the epoxy wont stick to you anymore. $1.00 worth of epoxy saved me $70 as my VCV was otherwise fine. My pump was just worn out.
Thanks a bunch I might end up doing this. I noticed it has leaks in the area and my power steering magically drains slowly lol. Also the UV die is so helpful can't wait
I'm having the same issue. My power steering pump went out and when I turn to the left, the power steering air control valve blew off. Does it matter which hose goes where? No fluid should be in either hose? found one hose was torn. must have touched the motor and got hose and burnt.
Where do the hoses run to? I’ve seen a vacuum diagram on youtube where the guy says both go next to each other and another where they go to to separate forked vacuum lines
Dude u just saved me from replacing all the seals in my new to me 92 4runner. Thanks so much! So did the ps fluid get sucked into the intake and out the exhaust or am I missing something?
Yep, Dexron II or III ATF (automatic transmission fluid). Some people incorrectly use other power steering fluids but this pump for the 89-95 Toyota trucks need the ATF. It's got a red-rose tint to it.
Thanks fellas. Came back to your video again. Finally going to tackle this issue head in now. My leaks is bad and finally seen where it's coming from 🙏🏻. Also what type of hoses and other stuff would I need to replace that you highly recommend. I saw on your video that you checked the power steering gear box and while inspecting my truck I noticed that had a leak as well what could that be 😲????
@@vegaf2011 If your truck has 200k miles or more I'd replace the main two hoses. I'd also clean everything really good first with some spray degreaser and maybe some hot soapy water in a spray bottle combined with an old toothbrush. That would help determine leaks and thier location. I just finished rebuilding my whole PS pump but not the Steering Box. I shot the whole process but need to edit / upload. But the pump rebuild was not as easy as some people think or make it out to be. If you are not really skilled or have a lot of tools you may just want to buy one and slap it in.
@@oldowl4290 I ended up buying a new power steering pump assembly couldn’t take out the sensor from the old pump. Definitely using this tip on the thread incase I have to disassemble it again could not get out the sensor for my life smh.

@@antonioturbes644 Yep, that's what happens I think. And right out the tailpipe lol.
This looks like same issue I’m experiencing with my 91 truck with the 3.0…. Did anyone else experience smoke coming out of exhaust???
What is the correct fluid to put in the power steering
Atf
