How To Diagnose Bad Power Steering Hose
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 тра 2019
- SUBSCRIBE TODAY!!! Showing you the steps to diagnosing bad power steering lines. To start, look at the power steering hose and lines to see if there are any noticeable cracks or leaks. If you see any wetness or fluid on the skid plate there is most likely a leak in the power steering system or it could just be oil. Then, squeeze the hoses to see if they are hardened from use. If any of the lines are hard or cracked they should be replaced. After visually seeing and touching the lines, check the power steering reservoir fluid level. If it is under level there is most likely a leak withing the system causing the fluid to drain. After checking the fluid level, have someone start the car and turn the steering wheel side to side while you look at the power steering pump hose, return line and high pressure line. If it is a very slow leak you may not notice a gush of fluid coming from any of the lines, but you will see an increased spread of wetness (leakage of fluid) on the lines. In my particular situation, there was a puddle of power steering fluid on the skid plate indicating a heavy leak. When the car was started and the steering wheel turned side to side it started gushing fluid which I could see dripping down the high pressure line. I located the issues by feeling the hardness of the return line and the cracks on it, as well as the leakage of the high pressure line when turning the wheel. These were the problems and will be replacing those lines. Thank you for watching and make sure to like and drop a comment.
You the fuckin man homie . I have an 02 trailblazer and you just saved my mental state right now. Thank you 🙏
That SC400 is a cool car, man.
When I give by F250 gas as when driving I have power steering. When I am not pressing the gas I do not. This started happening after I got stuck in mud and had to rev the 4 wheel drive up to very high rpms with the pedal to the medal while going about 2 mph. What is broken ?
How did you end up removing the high pressure line? Mine is also leaking and it looks like the only way to get to the banjo bolt is to remove the reservoir and hoses. Is that right?
hey i’ve been having some problems with my power steering on my 99 tahoe and i was trying to figure out if it’s a hose issue or a pump issue. it sounds just like your vehicle when i turn the steering wheel, but i was wondering if that sound alone means it’s a problem with the hose or what. helpful vid btw
I need help, I am kinda gradually loosing fluid. But my pump is not making any noise. It sounds fine, and drives smooth. Quick story, my truck was completely disassemble and then reassembled (was rear ended pretty bad by military police, on her first day…) It’s a 2017 Tacoma. Brought my situation to the mechanic and they are trying to tell me I need a whole new pump which I do not believe. How could a pretty new truck need a whole new pump for a gradual leak, on a truck that drives fine/smooth otherwise. Would that likely just be a loose line?
Question.... does a loose/leakinh power steering pressure hose affect thermostat? Asking bc my thermostat would stay on cold even during drives and randomly show normal temp then return back to cold. Once I got the pressure hose replaced, I noticed my thermostat has been working properly.
a loose or leaking power steering hose wont affect the thermostat. you may have a worn out thermostat
Very helpful thanks
How do you tell if the problem is the power steering pump and not just the leaky high pressure power steering hose?
After you fixed that line, did the sound go away?
What new line did you get? My SC is also leaking from the same spot
The pump have to be making a sound for it to be faulty? I also don’t have any leaks but my power assist is just gone. Difficult to steer.
it doesnt have to be making sound for it to be faulty. if it's making noise the pumps not getting enough fluid through it. is the steering loose or hard to turn the wheel?
Daily Driver it’s hard. I’ve had the car for about a year (mk4 VW gti) and it’s always been kinda stiff. I recently thought changing the fluid would help as the old fluid was black. After changing the fluid and bleeding it actually got worse lol. It turned without problems while the car was on stands but as soon as it was on the ground it requires alot of work to turn wheel
@@stephenaguiniga7960did you find a fix??
What if there is wetness all over the hose that come from the fluid reservoir tank?
This is the problem I currently have. PSF appears to be leaking from the hose connection to the reservoir, but neither the hose or the reservoir are cracked, so I can't figure out where it's leaking from. 🤔
Updates?
The noise sounds like air in the system (although could be a bad pump). I don't see how a leak in the high pressure hose can draw air into the system (unless you run low on fluid - in which case that would be an indirect cause).
I replaced the high pressure and return lines and refilled the steering system. now it doesnt make a single noise and runs perfect. the lines were soo bad that it was pissing fluid out causing the pump to he starved of fluid
Really helpful, thank you!
Thanks🖒 very instructive vid. That engine was a V8??????
Thank you. Yep, the beautiful 4.0 V8 on my Lexus SC400.
Thank you
you are welcome 👌
What kind of power steering fluid I use
use power steering fluid recommended for your specific make of vehicle
Nice video
thank you. I appreciate the feedback 👌👌
Early SC400, I could tell from the opening shot! haha btw, your serpentine belt is severely cracked! Thanks for the video. wow, I could see the fluid dripping down the line at 3:50
thanks for the response. yep, the belt definitely needs to be changed. I think it has a bad tensioner as well, so I am going to change that out when I do the belt👌
Man this is giving me a headache. I recently installed a new power steering pump on my 04 Legacy. Turning is better initially, but the more sharp turns I make, the more the steering wheel gets stiffer. I popped the hood and realized there's a pool of steering fluid that's leaking from the top of the new steering pump, right where the lines go in. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try next?
did you make sure that its clamped properly? check to make sure the reservoir cap is tight
Same issue with my 05 Suburban Z71. 😩
Mine baby doesn’t sound like this . Gives me hope 😭
doesnt have to make sound for stiff steering. again I would have a mechanic check in person to verify the cause of the issue😁👌
What cause tight steering while sitting still but works fine while moving , has new power steering pump and correct fluid ..no leaks that I can find
did you find the issue? i have the same problem
@@karamalshaikh738 same
The power steering reservoir that's connected to the power steering line is leaking the reservoir is cracked
Is it lexus whot model????
oh it's hot
From whot car inside is showing in this video????
it's a 1992 lexus sc400 with a v8
Change that belt brother
I am having similar issues with mine as well, it makes this whining noise especially when hot. I just replaced the fluid reservoir and the short return hose. The high pressure hose has no sign of leakage but the fluid juts out of the reservoir. Could the high pressure hose be the issue or the power steering pump?
did you find out the issue? i’m in the same boat 😂
@@verifymy2k-770 Apparently these parts I bought were not OEM, that’s why I was having the issue. I got an OEM part for the reservoir and better quality hoses, for the long and short hoses connecting to the reservoir from the radiator area and everything was solved. Hope this helps.
This seems pretty common for V8 engines
Does faulty high pressure power steering line makes steering tight too?
if you aren't getting fluid through the system it can make the steering tight. if the high pressure line isn't sending fluid it will starve the pump which will start making noise
@@DaylyDriverDayly The pump is making no such noise and there is also no leak but there is a point as I custom made the hose because I was unable to find one at the moment I needed to replace that hose. Soo can the custom made hose be a problem?
@@OHTHATPAHADI that would be a good start. you made a custom hose for the high pressure line? that line is a special hose and metal. that's probably the issue
@@DaylyDriverDayly Thanks mann! I'll surely replace it after the lockdown 😓
@@OHTHATPAHADI hope we all make it through the lockdown 😂😂
that power steering pump sounds baaad
that's the sound of the pump being run while its dry and over working itself
@@DaylyDriverDayly yea, they break almost immediately after running dry
@@bdmr_isf just with the heat of the engine over time causes the hoses to crack. it's to be expected for certain
@@DaylyDriverDayly i know. thats funny cause the same thing happened to my 95 sc400 yesterday😂 i always checked my fluids when i refueled it. level was always on top, then all of a sudden it started leaking like crazy, now i gotta replace the pump. well the car is 25 years old and still has the first timing belt, guess i just do both at the same time
@@bdmr_isf I'm pretty sure my sc is still on it's original timing belt and water pump as well. she still holds up though
