Scotty Kilmer so i had my power steering pump replaced because of a high piched whining..1 month later it is now whining when it wants to but the tone of the noise is much deeper. The mechanic says it will do it again if he replaces it which is obviously an argument for him to get out of doing it. Could there be another reason why i would hear the noise. Oh and yes it is full of fluid and its a 2007 ford focus

I've been watching your videos for a long time I have a whining noise in the steering wheel in my truck the power steering fluid is full there is no leak what could it be

You're one of the best video tutorial mechanics on youtube, you make what sometimes is miserable and annoying into a easy task which can easily be accomplished!

Scotty my son is taking mechanics at the career and technology center at his high school and we absolutely love your videos! He won’t say it but I think he’s impressed when his mama knows a thing or two about cars which I’ve mainly learned from your KZread videos! Right now he has a 2005 z71 Tahoe I got him for his 16th birthday that started making a sound when turning at low speeds. I told him to check his power steering fluid and that was the problem :) we’ve also repaired the antenna, the gauge cluster dimmer switch, oil changes, and the fog light button that was broken all DIY

No matter the car or issue I have scotty is the man who gives me the answers. I have a 08 escape and the power steering Reservoir is sealed.

hey scotty! i have 2 problems i have a 2016 lexus RX and today the temps dropped to 18 degrees (Yikes) i got the car in May, and no issues until recently first today i noticed the steering column squeaks every few mins in the cold this morning and this afternoon after i started them. but after almost a 2 hour drive, it went away. is that normal for the the drastic temp drop? also i hear a faint squeak from the rear passenger side. near the trunk. ONLY when the back end drops as in when i go over a speed bump or a deep pothole. the trunk is completely empty but i have a feeling its the shock? would i be able to hear a shock squeak inside the car?

Scotty, my Audi A4 B6 Makes whining sound when turning wheel after driving for sometime. When i start the car and start moving the noise is no longer there but after an hour the sound becomes bigger and its like rubber without greasing coming form my shock mounting rubber. the ATF level for steering wheel is fine. what could be the problem?

@Abdu86x

Measure the pressure of the pump by pressure gage. And turn the wheel end to end while its running and reading is ok then pressure switch is fine. More check bypass by close to the gage valve for 4 seconds if pressure go high its bypass valve issue. If pressure go low the bypass switch works.

Man I love your videos, so damn helpful and entertaining! I'm wrestling with a Lancer that's got an ongoing squeal. I've replaced the belt, found a pulley with a bad bearing, fiddled 18 ways with the tension, but still squeals. Took a look at my power steering fluid, it's a little low and kind of brown so I'll be trying a flush of that next.

Hey mister! You're my Sensei. Excellent video as usual. I have a 2006 Honda accord V6 that is a poem in 4 wheels but recently detected a noise on the fluid reservoir so I guess some fluid got to be added. Hope this will be the whole thing. Scotty, your videos are sensational, I enjoy all of them but above all of this, they are absolutely helpful. Thank you so much for your help. Dear Sensei, I bow before you and send you my best wishes from Mexico.

Hi Scotty! My 2000 Ford Ranger steering pump used to make a loud whine but after I did a full flush and added some royal purple, the noise is not as loud WHILE the truck is moving above say 10mph. But its still as loud as before while turning under 10mph. And its stiffer. Even louder when trying to turn while parked. There are no leaks or air bubbles that I know of.. Any fix to this?

My steering wheel is rubbing with something, same as brake pad with the brake disc. Do you know what this can be? Thanks!

Hi Scotty love your videos! So my 98 Camry the rack and pinion was leaking. I replaced it with a remanufactured part over the weekend. It went well and I have no leaks but I have a question about turning the wheel all the way to the stops. If I go all the way either left or right I hear a squealing sound. There's a lot of confusion on the internet what this could be a loose belt a faulty failing pump? Kind of hoping you can clear this up! Other than going to the complete left to right the new rack is working beautifully.

Nice video. Quick. Clear. Entertaining.

Hey Scotty! I recently hit a curb in the snow with my 2005 Acura TL. Turned right into a small road at 15-20km/h and all the impact slammed into my left driver wheel. I need to get the entire suspension replaced on the left driver side but something strange also happened with my Power steering pump. I jacked up the car when I got home and turned the steering from one side to the other. I can hear gushing sounds from my car and my brother told me that fluid was leaking out the top of the cap. (With the cap ON) After a while, the liquid stopped leaking and when I checked the levels, it was exactly on the "upper" mark with the steering straight. What exactly happened here? My steering feels a bit looser. Easier to turn the wheel. Feels like a new hyundai santa fe in comfort steering mode but I know it should be like that lol. Thanks in advance,

Yeah I drove 2 hours out to a junkyard that had a manual TL left side suspension. They're rare to find in Toronto. Replaced the suspension today and the car feels better. Power steering isn't grinding or leaking anymore when doing a full turn. Unfortunately the ABS on the junkyard part was busted so I'm trying without traction control... Mechanic also told me the subframe was cracked a little too which is bad news. I really don't want to spend $1000s+ to fix the subframe if it's drivable. Are there any risks to driving with the subframe a little cracked?

Hey Scotty, I have a 2018 ram 2500. Every now and then I’m getting a whistle noise near the driver side of the truck. On this side of the truck is the steering gear box and power steering pump. I noticed that the whistle noise goes away when the steering wheel is turned but returns when steering is returned to straight. Thoughts. This occurs even when in park

Hello Scotty i was wondering more specifics, when you fill the pump and start the engine, do you leave the cap off or put it on the resivour then turn the steering wheel?

I have a 2003 Ford Explorer that was making more of a rubbing sound. this continued for a couple of months when I finally decided to open up the hood and check my reservoirs. It turned out that my power steering reservoir was only about a quarter full so I went to O'Reilly's and bought a $4 bottle of power steering fluid and put it in. It immediately stopped the noise so I am very grateful it wasn't very expensive to get fixed. the reason I am making a comment is because those power steering problem does not necessarily have to be a whining noise. Mine was more of a rubbing sound so I hope this helps someone. Thank you for your good video.

Another helpful video. Quick question Scotty, my steering wheel is a full half turn to the left with the wheels lined up straight. Its not alignment because the front wheels are not worn on one side. Steering makes a popping sound when i turn either direction. Is it a tie rod or steering column, ....? Also is there any easy way to check if its a tie rod, 1996 chrysler concord. Thank you

Hello Scottie quick question, I did a complete flush on my power steering system on my 2005 GMC Sierra, I replaced it with the oil from Chevy dealer per the owners manual, but now it makes the grinding noise like in your video and didn't do it before the flush. Could it still be the switch? Thanks & great videos

Scotty, do power steering leak stop products work? My son's Honda is starting what appears to be leaking from the power steering pump seal. No obvious loss of PS fluid at the reservoir, or any leaks on the garage floor, but I changed the oil the other day, and there is oil around the bottom of the power steering pump.

Everytime Scott groins, it disturbs me, yet hilarious!
