Default power steering-- bad sound

my problem occurs only when im already running around 30 mins.Then my steering is making a bad noise when im turning it right to left, that problem happens only when im totally stop and running below 10kph., but when im driving at the normal speed, steering is perfectly well..

what could be the possible problem with that..

i already ask some advice fr my fren. they suggested to change and clean my steering oil. i already replaced the steering pump. plsss help...

I agree with enigma34. If the PS reservoir stays full of fluid (no leak), then check whether the PS belt is loose. Tighten if necessary.

check your fill bottel and make sure that it has clean lines to pump and that you used the right fluied and try taking your belt off and see what it does so that you know that is it hope it helps also make sure your lines are right also

Did you have the same problem before the shop replaced your PS pump? If so, they didn't give you what you paid for.

probably thats the problem...i also have a doubt with that pump. but i never jump to the conclusion that its my major problem. actually i just got this car 2 months back. the really owner already left and i dont know exaclty the history of the ps..he just said to me that the steering pump was new.. my plan is to bring it to another garage and to start from zero..your suggestion will help me a lot.

guys if you still have some info..pls relpy back..all imformation is really appriciated...tnx a lot


reply for russell...
