noisy power steering pump

[marcus_sho]

I have a noisy power steering pump it does not change in noise level when turning, it still performes good. Is there any aditives or such to reduce the noise or should I just replace it?

thanks

Oh? Are you sure it's the pump?

I had the pulsing when held in a constant turn syndrome. Everyone said i needed a new pump. 2oz of Auto-RX and a 1000 miles later the pulsing was all gone.

It may be worth a try, but the pulsing was due to leaking seals in the rack and not from a noisy pump.

wait now....my car does the "long turn pulsing thing" scott im not sure if you remember a recent post where i tought i had a broken suspension part. now im thinking its my power steering. should i change the fluid and see if that helps? auto-rx? is that some special kind?

I noticed mine was pulsing a bit too. I did a complete flush of the system and it has eliminated the pulse and quited down the pump on mine. Still a bit loud, but nothing to worry me.

Definitly flush the system before you do anything else. I thought my pump was gone for good (pulsing, noise, even complete loss of power steering)...flushed it and it is silent and perfect. $12, 10min fix.

So how do you do a complete flush?
