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?
The steering on my 2002 Camry has been ‘moaning’ (as I call it) since I got
it in 2009. I’ve noticed it getting a little louder when it’s warm and
humid out. The power steering reservoir has had enough fluid in it all the
time and it still bugs me what’s causing it.
Scotty,
I always enjoyed your plain-spoken solutions when you were on television
here in Houston. It’s good to see you’re still out there helping the rest
of us. My 2013 Toyota Sienna is making a clunking/metal sound when I turn
left. It doesn’t do it all the time and it doesn’t sound like a bad CV
joint. The dealership doesn’t have an answer.
What is Ole Smokey Moonshine?
Wow I like his videos thank a lot for this info
thank u from Jamaica w i
I have a 2000 Chrysler Town And Country 3.3 V6 minivan that I just replaced
the power steering pump and leaky hight pressure hose on. The problem I
have is from a stop it is hard to steer but at 10mph or more its easy to
steer. I flushed the system and turned the wheels while they were off the
ground for 10 minutes or so. Should be no air in the system right? Is there
an additive or something that could help?
Hi Scotty, recently I had same problem with a leaking idle switch on a
Buick 91 and after replaced it the steering keeps hard to turn on low
idle… do I have to recalibrate the computer with the new switch or is
something else?
And if you don’t fix that leaky/squeaky powersteering pump, it will drip
all the fluid right onto the alternator and eventually, kill the
alternator.
I HAVE A 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA AND THE POWERSTEERING PUMP IS MAKING WHINING
NOISE ESPECIALLY WHEN I START UP, MAKE TURNS AND SOMETIMES IDLE. I NOTICE
THE PULLEY ON IT WAS STICKING. I PUT SOME WD-40 ON IT AND IT KIND OF
HELPED BUT STILL ANNOYING. DO I NEED A NEW PUMP OR JUST THE PULLEY?
Will changing the powersteering fluid in my bmw e46 remove the noise? it
comes when i steer. i already changed struts and shock absorbers, could it
also be bushings?
My ’02 Civic Ex is leaking from the p.s. pressure switch connector – the
little rubber piece keeps popping out. Is there a sealant I should use to
keep it in there, or is there something else I can do? I’m also replacing
the switch itself..
How much does it usually cost to fix this? A mechanic was gave me an
estimate of $427 to fix my problem with the “power steering pump”
I have a question we have a 99 grand marquis….and lately it started
making a clunking noise when we turn the wheels…we have no leaks on the
power steering…..could it be the steering box? we noticed it jurks when
the wheels are being turned…..whats your thoughts on it
my car steering gluid is good and it only makes sound on left side any
sugestion
My 2001 blazer pump was replaced by (pepboys) within this year and it
always makes a noise when I accelerate a and turn the wheel, What would
that be?
Hi Scotty, Karen here. I have this problem with the power steering pump but
I don’t understand the white smoke when I start the car. What can it be?
hey sir scotty i just replace my ps pump, and all the belt also the idler
pulley. but why my belt squeal when first start in the morning specially
when AC is on?
When my old car did this, I knew instantly it was power steering (my ex
then had a mustang he claimed the previous owner had let it get too low,
and the car permanently sounded like it was powered by locusts when he
turned). One of the hoses was leaking. I was filling it up daily. It wasnt
TOO bad.. but man, everyone thinks about the oil, coolant and windshield
fluid.. forgot about the power steering.
love it
ive been having issues with my power steering as well, but my hose line
are wet straight out of the reservoir bottle, should i use a dye to find
the leak and if so hat would you recommend
hi Scotty
my dodge stratus make a high pitched squeak noise in the power steering
When the car is hot or i drive it by approximately 20 kilometer and I move
the steering wheel a little from right to left or vice versa, where i can
find the switch that you ‘mention in the video?
thanks and advance Scotty you are great !
greetings from monterrey mexico.
A Buzzing Power Steering Pump Is Most Common On Fords We Got A 94 Ranger
With Mostly Genuine Parts And The Power Steering Pump Is One Of Them And It
Don’t Steer Well And It Buzzes Very Loud When The Wheel Is Turned Even When
The Truck Is Idling You Can Hear It Buzzing!
don’t use PS fluid in toyotas. service manual almost always calls for ATF
fluid.
Hey Scotty, I have a 88′ blazer s10. And the power steering is leaking. How
would I check if it is leaking from the pump or the hoses?
you yelling!!!!! stop it.
Scotty, i have another question, my car makes a little movement when it
changes to the 2 gear. It’s automatic, do you think that it’s the
transmission or spark plugs?
Scotty, I watched your video and have a question regarding my 1993 Accord
EX. I’ve had a rubber sounding noise when the steering wheel is turned
left or right. It is the loudest in the morning but will still continue
through out the day. This has been going on for about a month. My mechanic
oiled the steering column but the noise is still there. Another mechanic
mentioned the possibility of a bushing wearing out. The car does have
273,000 miles on it. What are your thoughts?
you sir, are excitable.
I had just changed my engine in my car. Before i changed it it was quiet
but now its making noises.What could had happen?
I DON T HAVE A CAR I M JUT WATCH BECAUSE I LIKE !
Great info there, Scotty. But what is wrong if the power steering system
is only noisy (growly sound) turning the wheel to the left (95 Mercury
Sable)? PS fluid level okay. 36K miles. Thanks for all your videos —
dig `em!
I have a question, my dad owns a Ford Taurus 1995 and it have a noise… It
started just when you used the accelerator but now after like 4 months it
makes the noise every time.. A mechanic told him that “maybe” it was the
transmission.. What do you think it’s the problem? Thank you
Thank you Scotty Kilmer, You are amazing!!!!
Hi I ust watched your video, im a college girl that knows nothing about
cars. My steering wheel grinds when i turn and within an hour it became
really hard to turn (i could barley park) and we opened the hood and there
was smoke coming out. do i just need power steering fluid? or is something
else wrong. im scared because i don’t have 600 dollars to pay for it to get
fixed
If you cant afford new over rebuilt power steering pump, who rebuilds good
ones? I bought a cardone rebuilt and it sounded worse than the old one.
thank you. love the video tips
Was that lexus missing one of its radiator fans??
You sound like Joe Pesci
