Chevy Traverse power steering Whining! Will this fix it? Save money and time if this works!!

[@juandejesus4005]

Check the serpentine belt see if its tight or loose or the tensioner before you do the pump

[@RealNoor]

If you listen closer, the noise is not from the power steering pump or the reservoir. The noise is from one of you serpentine belt pulley or tensioner. More likely tensioner. It has a single bearing that probably dried out and failed.

The video quality is spectacular

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@sareckdannyb1]

This happen to me after the mechanic fix my timing chain

[@manuelrmonarrez6879]

Do you know if it's any a check valve on the lines then maybe get a stock

[@demarcusbrewster33]

I'm having the same problem with my Chevy traverse. The pressure line is not bad and I put some power steering fluid in there and it's still doing the same thing sir. I believe the power steering is still low because I check it with the car on and it was below the max

[@TerenceDIY]

After you topped the pump off with fluid, did you turn the wheels all the way in both directions and then checked the fluid level again?

[@demarcusbrewster33]

@@TerenceDIY no sir

[@paulandries3387]

Thank you. It was easy to locate and add the fluid. Oh yea, the noise is gone.

[@TerenceDIY]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@jessiejeastman]

Interested in knowing what year yours is cause mine calls for transmission fluid in the power steering. My lost 3 power steering pumps in my Chrysler before I learned to double check for that.

[@renan8486]

I agree, mine is 2012 traverse and requires trans fluid dexron VI

[@jonathanabell7216]

Does it got to be dexron vi or can I use Preston power steering fluid for a 2016 Chevy travers Ly front wheel drive??? I had to replace the top pressure holes for the power steering

[@rommelsarte611]

You have check engine light indicator on try to use obd2 scanner to address the problem.

[@cruzworld78]

very useful, many thanks

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@cewdulltooththebeardedbike9400]

This video is super helpful thank you

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@samuelscheuers7581]

There was a recall on the traverse try putting dexron vi tranny fluid in it

[@TerenceDIY]

It jumped timing and we got rid of it. I will NEVER own another one. Thanks for watching!

[@wayneshancock2520]

Great video Bro, thank you very much, I will try this first.👍

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome, Wayne. Thanks for watching!

[@eddiereichel9354]

💯 that is the wrong fluid. These do not take power steering fluid. It's the wrong viscosity. That vehicle requires dex 6 transmission fluid

[@sniperNOsniping26]

Sounds like a tensioner pulley bearing

[@raindropslips]

So figured out what was it because I am having same issue

[@justnay218]

What was it

[@davidd1395]

Awesome! How many miles on that one?

[@PurongMaharlikanoTV]

My traverse has a leak. And there is whining noise when i turn the steering wheel.

[@PurongMaharlikanoTV]

Will that anti leak helps?

[@TerenceDIY]

@@PurongMaharlikanoTV , what is it leaking? Power steering fluid? If so, where? From a hose or the pump itself? Thanks,

[@PurongMaharlikanoTV]

@@TerenceDIY didn't check it yet. i just saw the leak on snow... it was color red. didn't tried to check where the leak coming from because it was really cold here right now. -30°

[@PurongMaharlikanoTV]

@@TerenceDIY but i top up power steering fluids with anti leak.

[@TerenceDIY]

@@PurongMaharlikanoTV , Yeah, that is VERY COLD! You need to find out where it is leaking from. Be safe in that weather.

[@mk2vrt]

TIMING chains lol I've had to do them on every traverse I've worked on about 20 in the last two years.

[@TerenceDIY]

Yep.

[@Paul-vn5mi]

The ticking you guys are referring to?

[@mosesgeorgepattersonii8469]

Hello, hey I have a 2012 Chevy Traverse LT trying to put the power steering pump on and I'm having the trouble that when I drop the subframe on the passenger side it's only going down two of the four in required to pull the power steering pump. Can you think of anything I could have done wrong?

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi, It will be hard for me to say because I cannot see it. Are you checking to see if anything is stopping it from lowering? I wish I were there to help.

[@kevintewell6004]

My 2011 Transverse has the same noise. Did you ever figure out what it was for sure?

[@TerenceDIY]

When I cleaned and installed new power steering fluid, it got much better for the few months that we were able to drive it. The Traverse eventually jumped timing (like all will do), and I got rid of it.

[@juliomonterojr]

Where did you get that fluid pump from

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi Julio, are you talking about the power steering fluid?

[@francesalvarado03]

The fluid pump@ get it at auto zone or O'Riley's, even waltmart might carry it!

[@martinarmendariz8175]

Mine whines when turning and the the power steering is really hard when the car is not moving but loosens up a bit once moving any ideas what’s the issue and how to fix

[@TerenceDIY]

A fluid change / flush may help, but I won't be surprised if there are issues with that pump.

[@frankie.b.s9133]

I don't know if Terrance YT channel showed it but turning and hearing and enhanced whining could be the motor filter surprisingly it worked. But now my traverse whines when I accelerate. You can measure the sound by looking at the RPM gauge. I don't know if I need to flush and renew transmission fluid, or replace the water pump, I topped reservoir off with new antifreeze and it slowly leaked out. My gut is telling me something is loose on the water pump allowing coolant to leak out thus 4th making accelerating whining noise

[@TerenceDIY]

If you're leaking coolant from the water pump, unfortunately the bearings have gone. The water pump has to be replaced. I've seen this many times.

[@yrh1gs]

Thanks Terrance. Saves a trip and expenses from the dealer.

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome, Tman D.

[@wilsonpaucar4695]

Hi so did you fixed or not If yes what you did thanks

[@TerenceDIY]

I changed the power steering fluid and eventually it got better. The noise went away after a couple of weeks.

[@robertoflores1141]

@@TerenceDIY Hello! I have a 2011 traverse with the same noise and also the steering wheel is hard when turning it. do you have any idea what the problem is?

[@TerenceDIY]

@@robertoflores1141 , you should drained or siphon the old power steering fluid out and replace it with some new fluid and a little lucas power steering fluid additive. The noise should slowly dissipate and your steering should improve some. If not, your pump is probably on the decline. Thanks for watching!

[@robertoflores1141]

@@TerenceDIY Will do. Thank you!

[@robertoflores1141]

@@TerenceDIY In case the pump was the problem, where do you recommend I buy it? in Amazon or in a local auto parts, because I have heard many people say it is better to buy in Autoparts not online I do not know if there is a difference in quality, because in price there is a lot. what do you think? Thank you!

[@jeffreya8329]

My 14 traverse just started whinning under acceleration

[@TerenceDIY]

Check the fluid level. If that is not the case, then it could need to be flushed out. Hopefully, the pump is not trying to go bad. Thanks for watching!
