Excellent Troubleshooting assessment, I am having issues with a 2008 Volvo XC70. The belt tightening and alignment is a great way to check the steering pump as well as removing the belt and see if the noise stops. BRILLIANT and Thank You so much !! Could you do a video on how to rebuild a Steering Pump, that would be AWESOME :))
Think this video helped me solve my issue. I’ve lost fluid at some point so topped it up. Steering was juddering while parked. The turning the wheel back and forth seems to have cleared it up. Many thanks.
I went through two new reman pumps. Whining after bleeding several timesThey are JUNK. Better off with a junkyard oem. Slapped it in n had zero noise. Barely bled it.
Did you reman pump fail l, leaving you stranded, hopefully NOT or were you so annoyed by the noise that you just swapped it immediately with a Junkyard Oem? I did not know about reman being crap and just got enticed by the lifetime warranty thing. Now my 2000 F150 while like swine lool 😂. Please let me know
It didn't fail. Just impossible to get air out for some reason.. Just the annoying noise which means air is in it. Even turning up the radio didn't help lol. It shouldn't have noise at all. Even the shop said "It will quiet down over time." ( total BS) And thats AFTER they changed my power steering leak and bleeding the pump themselves with no success.
@@richdars2515 i did the labor myself and it wS not zuper fun; as long as it runs, ill keep it that way till it fails. Ill keep a junkyard used oem in the car as long as a brand new serpentine for the dqy it leaves me stranded lol
Nice Video and Content.....I had a whine. Coming from that area, replaced the belt tensioner, belt and water pump...190,000 miles...the vanes in the water pump were almost all gone....Noise was absent after running with belt off, Power Steering pump finally died. Needless to say noise disappeared after replacement... Once again Thanks for the video..😊
I have a really really stiffed hard to turn steering I replaced the tie rods because they were bad but still has not improved. My pump makes no noise could it be the rack n pinion?
I have a 2013 Nissan Xterra and its making a squeaking noise like a bad belt. Took it to a local mechanic and said it needs a new power steering pump. It doesn't squeak or make any noise when turning the wheel and isn't leaking. Does that sound right?
To burp or clear air in power steering pump, you said to simply turn steering wheel left and right. Q, do this while engine is turned on? And, with cap on or off on steering pump?
You can also do it with the cap off, it's not gonna throw fluid all over. I just did mine last night. I think I did it the best way, which is to have two people. My old man stayed in the driver seat while I stayed up on the hood. Kept the cap off and looking inside the pump. When he turned the wheel to the left, it opened up the pump and sucked down the fluid. When he turned it back right, it put a little back to the pump, but not all of it. So then I added more fluid, and we did this a couple times until it wasn't taking fluid anymore, and there were no more air bubbles. Solid red fluid, staying at the proper steady level, good to go!!
Ah but you can do this with the engine off here's what you do one jack up your car and put it on stands IT HAS TO BE STANDS. You can just get it off the ground like till you see light under the tire. Then second turn your key to the run unlock position if you have a steering wheel lock in it then rotate the tires to the left and right lock to lock. I do that to avoid making a pump run without oil through the pump vanes it's quite fast too. Sometimes it'll like blerp out if you fill it really high. Do it that way it'll take like 5 minutes to bleed it then start it and see how it is on the ground. Pump works great after that too.
Hi there , you covered a full amount of issues affecting pump noises. I would like to ask you what would cause juddering when the steering is turned left to right . Oil has been flushed and bled , top mounts checked on struts . This on MK6 Fiesta hydraulic pump . The pressure pipes shake . Is it pump or rack .
My pump isn't whining...unless no fluid. Fluid Looks like its at a rapid boil, but not chirning or foaming. The sway is progressing. I have no resources where i am. I have cranked it both ways...i tried overfilling and cranking.. im not losing fluid quickly...and the only leak I saw was when i took tension off belt.and it has a slow drip. But enough to empry ststem within a few hours. What can i try next...replace pump or how do i fix seal?
Thank you for this video. Would you say one of the symptoms of a bad PS assembly/unit/component is a chirping or squeaking noise when stepping on the gas pedal while in drive? My 2008 Lexus RX350 does that. But when revving it while in neutral, there’s no noise at all.
What if it’s leaking from the union bolt or the washers that go there? Would that still be considered of jus replacing the pump?please I’ve been trying to fix for 2 yearssss
How do you take the tension off a Ford FG belt I just want to try it to see this too much tension on most power steering pump because it is making a noise but when I put a bit of oil behind it it's quiet but that's not fixed i understand that ?
Mine does not leak, it does not make noise and works good when i just start the truck but when it gets up to temperature its pretty much not there, is it the pump or gear box? Also belt and pulley are pretty much new
Hi I have a 2006 corolla only makes a whining noise some times when i stop at a red light , if i turn the steering wheel slightly it stops . I was wondering weather it could be a blocked filter in the reservoir . fluid is at correct level no leaks.
@@Top5AutoRepairs man oh man we changed the pump and the pulley out thinking that’s what it was & this is after changing the timing belt as well and it still won’t start 😭
2005 gmc pickup my steering wheel is seaking and grinding with leaks I checked the belt and it's broken should I replace the power steering pump as well? What could of caused this TIA
My car makes a buzzing noise while turning or turning Ben if the car is off in park while putting gas on the car and I hear a buzzing noise at the wheel so my power steering is getting bad ?
Jack up the front vehicle, remove power steering reservoir cap and turn the steering wheel left until it locks and then right until it locks. Do it this for about 20x.
I have a 2003 silverado and it’s making a squealing noise when I turn either direction at certain angles and then it stops when I go straight but this trucks steering rack and pinion is bad too but I can’t tell if I need to replace the power steering pump as well because it’s not even using fluid at all really it’s staying full maybe it’s plugged
Hi. So my car is being looked at. The other day this happened but it’s been going on , this time my car gave up. The steering wheel locks up, can’t move at all with it. Meinike said it is the steering gear? I hope it’s something small. I’m hoping I’m not paying a lot :( help me
It's possible that might be it. However, make sure the power steering belt didn't fall off or is loose. Next, make sure power steering fluid is full at the reservoir. Next, check for growling nosie from the power steering pump. If there is noise the power steering pump is failing (make sure to check fluid level). Lastly, check for leaks at the steering rack/rack and pinion boot. Hope that helps!
Hi buddy i have watch you tube I need your help I have install timing belt and water pump and kit OEm and after I finished I have problem power steering fluid reservoir overflowing after change timing belt..can you help me out and let me know what’s going on? I don’t know what’s I do..because Fluid at bottle out..thank you for your help too much
My 2006 GTO it doesn’t really make a noise until I give it throttle and then it starts the wine but when it’s idling and you look at the pulley, it looks like it’s a little wobbly
I turned steering wheel while engine off, I noticed fluid under my truck and on top of reservoir cap on pump. Steering now feels bumpy, sometimes I feel slight vibrations on steering wheel when turning left or right. Did I do major damage to the pump? I can steer alright but it feels different than before...
Am a steering engineer by profession I work and repair all kinds of steering pump and racks for all kinds of steering pump and racks for all kinds of cars
Great video! New subscriber. So much info in a short video. I just replaced my pulley tensioner, but I think maybe what broke it was a bad steering pump causing irregular tension. Because now, the pulley tensioner is moving (inconsistent tension), and that movement increases when I turn the steering wheel. Have you seen something like this before? Also... idk about anybody else, but I’d love any tips or tricks you have to share about getting serpentine belts on. You rock!
@@Top5AutoRepairs thanks for the reply bro! I had Made the mistake of thinking the old serpentine was fine, but it was damaged when the tensioner broke. Put in a new belt, everything runs fine. Live and learn!

Thanku so much for the lesson!
Nice again , 2 videos helped me in 5 min :)
DAMN! I was hoping it was just the pulley that was damaged. But you say if it wobbles then it as to do with the bearings of the power steering pump!
My pulley wobbles even with the belt off. I also have a leak, and my mileage is pretty high. Thank you for such great advice.

The cap can stay on

What if it’s ticking/whining? The tick gets really bad around the pump area when turning the wheel
Mine does this and kinda shakes when I only turn right. And it's very loud when going straight. Hmmm 🤔

This guy is the shit period. I mean he is wonderful.
The p/s pulley is stuck/won’t spin with the other pulleys. What could be the issue?
Bad bearing. Power steering pump is probably seized.
@@Top5AutoRepairs man oh man we changed the pump and the pulley out thinking that’s what it was & this is after changing the timing belt as well and it still won’t start 😭
Check out my other videos. Use the search box and type, "no start". You might find out the problem may be.
My fluid doesn’t go down do I need a new one?
2005 gmc pickup my steering wheel is seaking and grinding with leaks I checked the belt and it's broken should I replace the power steering pump as well? What could of caused this TIA
what if when i have my car lifted and no noise when i turn back and forth but its hard to turn when driving slow
Hi I have a08 Benz 450 gl I have no leaks just today start hearing nose of grinding then the wheel got tight now nose loud
My car makes a buzzing noise while turning or turning Ben if the car is off in park while putting gas on the car and I hear a buzzing noise at the wheel so my power steering is getting bad ?
Very intetesting and helpful information. I heard some people using ATF in the power steering system. Any consecuences of that? Thanks
ATF is fine.
That depends on the manufacture. ATF can cause foaming in power steering systems, foam has air in it which causes steering pump cavitation.
OK, I need help, when I turn the steering, it makes a chirping noise or squealing noise, is this the same as what you're describing?
Hello. The belt probably just need to be tighten.
How to breath out the air in the Hydraulic oil of power steering?
Jack up the front vehicle, remove power steering reservoir cap and turn the steering wheel left until it locks and then right until it locks. Do it this for about 20x.
My Saab 93 has just made a noise now I have no power steering. What is the problem??

Maybe the steering box! I know those lines have a lot of trouble surviving when the box messes up
Hi
But my doesn’t make noice when I twist the wheel, it just whines loud around that area of the power steering pump
What if you did that but there still bubbles in the power steering reservoir
Is the regular Duralast ps pump at autozone good?
if they are rebuilt, yes! if not, no. do not get the new ones. for some reason their housins arent the best. same with the bearing.
How much will it cost to fix?
Every car is different because the pump is located in different locations
Just a point of interest you pronounce Seal as sill.
You may want to work on that as these are two very different things.
How to know if it is not the rack and pinion actually failing?
Get under it and check tie rods
