Power Steering question

ASM92 · November 17th, 2011, 12:23 PM

I need some help with my power steering. Three days ago my poweragain steering pressure line got a hole in it so I replaced it. I also replaced the powersteering pump and pulley, because it was cracked, and I flushed all the old fluid out and replaced it with new fluid.
The problem is my power steering is really loud while idling like if there was no fluid in it but it is full, and it gets extremely loud when I rev it.

Try slowly turning your steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right.

^I forgot to mention, I have done that.

If its a reman, you could have purchased a faulty one. Happened to me, two times in a row. Get it replaced from where you purchased it

Yea it is a reman. from oreilly's by A1Cardone. This is my second one within 5 months. Its starting to piss me off I don't have time to keep replacing this sh**. I will take it to my mechanic and see what he says he thinks it is before I replace the pump again.

Yeah, thats the one i purchased through O'Relieys, best of luck to you.

Thanks, I went to my mechanic and he said it is the valve sticking in the pump, so I get to waste more time pulling this one off and get yet another replacement. Yep this reman company is going to get an ear full if I get another faulty pump.

you also have to remember its a reman pumpthey can make noise upto 500 miles the only way your gonna get one not to make noise is buying a new one from ford ....... if you can deal with the noise for a little while give a few hundred miles should quiet down

ford pumps are usually pretty loud. typical. try some lucas transmission fix. sometimes gets it a little quieter. sometimes does nothing.
