I just replaced the pressure hose on my FD, and have bled the fluid like the factory manual said to, but Im getting a LOUD humming sound coming from the power steering pump when I turn the steering wheel.


I checked the fluid level and its fine, and there is nothing leaking at all, PLEASE HELP!

 

Bad pump ?

 

Im praying to God thats not what it is, before I changed the pressure hose, it never made any nosie at all , which makes me doubt the pump went bad just like that but then again Idk.

 

Try turning it stop to stop slowley quite a few times and bleed the air out of the system, makeing sure its full of fluid.

 

Does it make the sound when turning either direction?

 

Yes it does, and I hear the noise coming from the power steering pump itself sounds like it could be the bearings.....I think I can put 2 and 2 together, I CANT BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED OUTTA NOWHERE.... WOW............................................... ..........thanks for the help though

 

Didn't really happen out of no where. You replaced a bad hose, introduced air in the system and now the pump is making noise. You can put the car up on jack stands in the front to take some of the load off the system then start it up and turn the car lock to lock, then check fluid level, replenish as needed and repeat till oil level remains steady. If the pump isn't damaged the noise should go away and things should be fine.

 

^^^ +1 on air still in system.

+2 the noise should go away

 

+3 follow the bleed procedure.
