Don’t mistake the sound as it’s bad on cold days. The fluid has to get warm and on cold starts could make some noise as long as it’s silent when turning the wheel it should be okay. Also sometimes the fluid gets dirty or you could have a leak and dirty or low fluid can cause noise too. So before you buy a new pump try changing the fluid first or check for leaks.

Thanks for the vid. Ik my power steering is going out bc it screeches really loud especially if driven cold but I've recently had to serpentine belts break in about 4-5 weeks. I noticed that the pulley stops turning or slows down at least when I have the steering wheel turned. Prob a stupid ? but do you think that's why the belt keeps breaking? All 3 broke the 1st time but just the 1 this last time.

Im worried that my car might have a PS rack issue as well. There’s a rip in the boot and it’s leaking fluid. Not bad at all, might be a drop once a day, it’s mostly just really wet. My question is if I need to replace the rack too. I know it would be a good idea, but I don’t have the money to replace the rack too unless it won’t solve the initial problem (no power steering at very low speed, constant whine, jittery steering). Im thinking maybe air and debris is getting into the PS rack, which might cause the pump to go bad?

Ive had this stuttering noise in an e36 which eventually became a whine then a growling noise, same thing in a daughters Ford Festiva. after swapping out the front wheel bearings in the festiva the noises were gone and the front end felt much better. Im about to do this on the e36, before that though I'll replace the fluid (pump out and re-fill 3 times with turning of the wheel lock to lock between each refill to flush out old fluid) first to see if that makes a difference and check the steering knuckle for excessive wear or seizure. Another reply mentions the steering linkage universal joint (knuckle) being seized caused his heavy steering.

I just g0t the hose replaced at the garage cos it was leaking and so noisy but now my steering seems soooo loose could the pump need replacing too. There no noise now though.

I had the same problem, it’s either the power steering pressure hose or it’s the pump and the hose. Also check your engine mounts, they are usually first to go then the vibration from the engine starts to throw the rubber belt out of alignment when turning. So then the power steering pump starts to go.

I have the exact opposite problem, no whining or steering issues while cold, but once it runs for a while (like 30 mins) the pump starts whining, and i get the not smooth steering issues. Im guessing hoses, because the pump wouldnt cause that, right?

Question: I definitely have a steering issue with my BMW e30, but I can't yet determine where the problem is. So I'm trying to figure whether it is or isn't the pump. Thanks for the video...very helpful. In my case, there's no strange or noticeable noise coming from the front at all. Fluid in the reservoir seems full and clean (but I can't recall ever servicing or have changed the fluid...). A garage dude who is supposed to know these cars intimately, feels certain that my pump is bad...that it does run, but doesn't circulate any fluid. He said he knows that because he took the lid off the fluid reservoir with the engine running, and it should be easy to see the fluid circulating...he says that in mine, there's no visible fluid movement at all, so case closed. But is this a valid explanation ? You do not mention this alleged symptom in the video. There's no pump noise, no signs of leaking, no whining when turning the wheel, reservoir is full and clean. I'm thinking its something other than the pump....??

@DaylyDriverDayly

if the power steering belt is turning than the pump should be working. if not, the reservoir can get clogged and not allow fluid to flow through which can then starve the pump of fluid and cause it to fail. if there is no pressure in the system like you say is seemingly the case I would check the power steering lines as well. it could just be the pump that needs replacing. it doesnt always leak when bad.

I had a power steering pump noise. Thought it was cavitating. Changed the pump with a good looking pump from the junk yard. Then again worth a brand new pump from Autozone. Then changes the rack. After a bunch of work it turned out to be the altinator. Sounds pretty stupid but it was very frustrating and emberassing on top of that. Just putting this on here for others to contemplate. Hate for any on else to go through this.

My power steering fluid exploded all over the top of my engine (gs300) I put more ps fluid and it disappeared.. I can’t see any noticeable leaks.. where and how would it erupt like that? Does that mean pump is bad? Or a hose… or something I’m not seeing?

The only noise I’m hearing in my car at this time is a very high-pitched noise whenever I press on the gas pedal as I’m driving. I do not hear the noises you are describing in the video while I’m driving. When I turn the steering wheel left and right you don’t hear noise at all just a high-pitched sound from hitting on the gas pedal. I went to two different mechanics who are insisting that this is the power steering pump needing to be replaced. Can you confirm this?

My 06 Honda Pilot makes that noise only on cold starts and goes away after a couple minutes of driving and is fine throughout the rest of the day of taking it for an errand again. Is that okay ?

How about if the hoses connected to the resovoir are wet? As well as the hose on the other side of the pump? I replaced a power steering pump about a year ago but I didn't replace the hoses. I suspect it's just the hoses that need replacing

I've heard if the steering wheel is crooked significantly, it is certainly a problem w/power steering rack (as far as I understand the problem can't be fixed then just by simply moving in and out Outer Tie Rods in corresponding directions). Mine is crooked ~45 degrees to the right, no steering fluid leeks observed (I saw some fluid inside of the boot ~ 8 months ago, when changed Inner TR (on driver side only, on passenger it was dry), but I think it is very small, since the fluid level doesn't change). I don't remember when that problem w/crooked wheel developed, I don't drive that car a lot, but I hit a limiting concrete bar which they conveniently locate at some parking lot 4-5 days ago, and noticed 45 degrees after that event. So what can happen to a steering rack, what can be wrong, if no leak observed? The car is 2003 Chevy Cavalier. Thank you very much for the informative film.

so it's hard to turn the wheel at a stop how is turning the wheel when you are driving? have you check the power steering or serpentine belt depending the car you have? so if you did a flush and bleed the system it's obviously something else. is it making any noises when turning the wheel?

So let me explain what’s going on with my power steering. The steering is never hard to turn and the reservoir is never low. I have a 2015 Infiniti Q70L that requires an ATF fluid. My power steering pump randomly makes noise at idle. The ATF fluid is clean and is replaced every 50,000 miles. Currently my Infiniti has 156,000 miles. I performed a vacuum test at 20 pounds of mercury and it passed the test for five minutes. Even though it’s been vacuum tested is there anyway an air pocket could be present in the system? Or is my power steering pump simply need to be replaced? Thankfully I can purchase a brand new Hitachi Power steering pump which happens to be the OEM provider for a reasonable price. Keep in mind I am a rideshare driver that is on the road constantly picking up passengers.

Went I turn my wheel all the way to the right or left I get a shudder, only in slow speeds like going to park or when the car is in park. Could this be the hoses or rack?

i dont think it's the steering. it's something in the suspension most likely. maybe an axle or something. I'd have a mechanic check it out

Have you replaced your rack yet? My steering got extremely loose within the past 5 days. If I go fast then 30 I feel disconnected from the road and feel like I might do a donut.

I had one like that on one car. It was a bad wheel bearing. I replaced it and the problem gun.

I have a badly leaking hose ('91 Previa) so my fluid level has gone down a few times enough to make the noise (I'm know what the noise is), but now after topping off the fluid it still has a faint whine even at idle which is not normal. Could that just be air in the system? I have no problem with the level of power in the steering. I'm going to replace all the hoses, but I'm wondering whether I should also replace the pump.

@DaylyDriverDayly

start by replacing the hoses that are worn out and see if the car is still making the noise after you replace the hoses. take it step by step. let me know if you have any noises after the hoses are replaced👌

If the system has no air bubbles in the reservoir but the steering pump still whines does that mean the pump is bad?

What if the steering is hard but there is no whining noise coming for the pump/engine bay The area around my 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser's PSP looks wet but the fluid level appears good. Could the pump still be bad w/o noise?

@@lada7559 I ended up soaking the the u-joint of the intermediate shaft in WD40 before replacing the power steering pump just to see what would happen, and the steering completely loosened up and went back to normal. So in the end, the U joint of the intermediate shaft was seizing up due to age and rust, there’s no grease zerks to lubricate the joint itself so I ended up installing a new intermediate shaft and everything is functioning perfectly. The process to replace took a little over an hour. Good luck.

My 95 sc400 steering gets really tight and almost locks up when I try and turn after I drive it for a while at freeway speeds. It fixes itself after I slow down and stop for a while. Do you think that's the power steering pump?

Is the outter (dry belt) which is also called the (certene belt) which has some pulleys on it, does the power stearring pump run off of this..?? Also if thier is tiny tiny little air bubles in your power stearring fluid is this normal.?? Ppl do say it's not normal to have any bubles in your power stearring fluid ... Is on an Acura 2004 not 2003 had wrong year before in my first message...

I have a 05 trailblazer that the power steering went out. No whining or leaks. 🤔

SAme sound on low rpm and steering is a bit hard to turn. How to get rid of?

My car on start up makes a loud squeaky sound then goes away once engine warms up. I can turn the wheel and doesn't make any sound but when I step on the accelerator she squeaks loud. It's wired it goes away at idle once it's warm but is loud as hell when I rev it up.

I'm guessing it is not the power steering, but more likely a belt making the noise.

Thanks for clearing this up for me. People are telling me that my pump is done but I don't have these symptoms. The only thing is there's a leak somewhere. My guess its a simple job and these liars are trying to take my money. I'm not stupid; I know if I have a bad pump my steering will be hard to turn. My check engine light goes on and off. One mechanic did a diagnostic test on it and found nothing. He reset it and said if it goes back on to see him. What do you think it might be?

if you dont have a leak from the lines definitely inspect the pump but also check the steering rack and where the steering column attaches to the rack

What usually goes wrong with the power steering pump? What causes them to go bad? They seem like fairly simple designs. Second question why do they usually go bad on cold mornings?

@DaylyDriverDayly

4 жыл бұрын

nothing usually unless there isn't enough steering fluid going through it that can cause it to wear out to wear out fast. the problem is more than likely a bad power steering hose, a seal or the reservoir. they dont go bad in the morning, it's the fact that if the fluid isn't heated up when you start it on a cold morning it takes a minute for the fluid to get flowing through the system. that's why you may hear a whining sound on some mornings when you start the car. dowsnt mean the pump is bad

Can a bad power steering pump cause the check engine light to go on?

To what I know your car has electric power steering. I have 2015 Camry and mine is electric power steering. Sometimes I get noises or stiffness but I feel is my struts since I still have the oem struts in my camry. And struts help the rack to steer easier and smoother. But you should take your car with someone local shop or family member that can find issue
