O ring size?
Is this the same for 2002 wrx?
Check to see if you have bubbles in the PS tank if you do its a air leak in
the loop From what I learned over at NASIOC, the proper O-ring is10mm x
14mm x 2mm hope that helps
Thanks for yr video, I fixed my car this morning using yr video as a guide
🙂
What made you replace this? Did you have bubbles in your reservoir? Cause I
have bubbles and my power steering whines in the cold mornings?
Thank you very much for this video. I would never have known about it.
Instead of replacing the o-ring I just reuse the o ring and wrapped it with
3 layers of teflon tape. The fix made a huge difference to the whining
noise. Thank you again for this!
@Dublr81 match it at autozone bag of o-rings hope it works for you
might not be the PS that’s whining.. Could be a pulley, Timing belt
tensioner is common for the whinenoise when its going bad
I would still replace it my o-ring split and can go into the fluid
There should be a way that we don’t need to replace the o-ring
periodically. This must be Subaru’s design flaw. First of all there should
be some kind of gasket on the mating surfaces. Secondly the part should be
secured by 2 bolts not just one. I’m thinking of putting a “flange sealant”
to make it permanent. Besides an o-ring should last for as long as the part
stays together. I am going to try it out and let you know!
From what I learned over at NASIOC, the proper O-ring is10mm x 14mm x 2mm
hope that helps I would just buy the bag of o-rings easy

I just did what you said, Lol went to an autozone and bought a bag of O
ring, Thanks my STI sounds alot better now, but now I have a weird noise

Worked like a charm! I posted a quick video just now.
