Today i noticed my power steering making a noise. Ive attached a youtube video of the noise Here. Heres whats happening. Fluid is topped up (ive checked!) Noise happens with the slightest pressure on the steering in either direction. noise gets slightly louder at full lock (in either direction) Replacing the alternator/power steering belt (fan belt) on a Peugot 206. Come over to www.diycarguide.com to ask any questions, and for announcements of upco Check the fluid level. Check the fluid condition. Power steering pump noise always comes from 1 of 2 places, abnormal fluid pressures or a problem with the power steering fluid. The two things that can cause abnormal pressures is a problem with the pump or a clog somewhere in the system. A failing pump will cause low fluid pressures and make it A quick and straight to the point video of how to diagnose a bad power steering pump on your car.

The water pump is necessary for keeping the engine For example, a bad power steering pump could be to blame. There could also be a leak of the power steering fluid that needs to be repaired. 4. Worn Bearing. There are multiple bearings used throughout the car that could be causing a whining noise. You have bearings located on the drive pulleys, running the accessories. Hydraulic power steering systems are very common; the steering gear receives up to 1,500 pounds of pressure from a belt driven pump that has a large pulley. Small pulleys (like the alternator) are for speed and large pulleys (like the power steering pump and A/C compressor) provide less speed but more torque, which is necessary for any pumping nV4jMfD.
