Honda POWER STEERING whining noise fix and eliminate the BUBBLES

[@MarkBerry-fx7zp]

Thanks for replying back .I have taken it everywhere I know.I think I’m going to get the reservoir looked at.Guy I talked to said the filter gets stopped up.I noticed this morning had some fluid leaking from underneath reservoir.Fingers crossed hope that it.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yeah mostly the tubes get hard and they not able to seal on contact

[@MarkBerry-fx7zp]

I’m hoping replacing the reservoir and tubes to it stops the noise.Ready to sell if it doesn’t fix it.

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@MarkBerry-fx7zp I never had a case with reserver maybe line leakin and it’s sipping down

[@V8orNoCar]

Need to lift front end and turn steering wheel with engine off a couple times, that's how you get rid of air bubble. I don't have a floor jack or jack stands so gonna have a shop do it since I replaced the steering pump with a new one but still whines when cold.

[@RBTheMechanic]

That’s even better

[@Stormmaniac]

Thank you! Im glad i watched this video my 08 civic is making this noise, beginning to think it was my alternator noticed my fluid on the lower lvl line so definitely gotta fill that up

Hey great video, i replaced my psp a few months ago, no leaks my pump sounds like metal rubbing like it's coming from the shaft of the pulley it also shakes a bit when i turn the wheel. What could it be??

[@RBTheMechanic]

Try listening to it with screw driver

[@budshatto3683]

Need to jack up the front and without engine running turn the wheel all the way left and right. Top off fluid and repeat. Do this several times before starting the engine.

[@shon2370]

Thank u I always appreciate your videos!!!!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Welcome!!!

[@olivero-j1r]

I have air and changed the o rings. Still air. But the psp is leaking. Could the air come from psp itself? I will rebuild and change the seals/gaskets/o rings of the psp. I just want to know if the bubbles could possibly come from the psp

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yes it can cause air

My high pressure power steering hose was leaking so I got it replaced. The shop that I went to used non honda parts and fluid. Since then it's been making this whining noise while accelerating or turning. Will it damage the pump if I steer the wheel lock to lock to clear out the air? I cannot jack up the front of the car.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Don’t go lock it lock stop right about it before hit the end

[@bosskey23]

I have power steering fluid leaking on the reservoir and the cap is good. So it must be bad O rings?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not sure could be spill usully I don’t see fluid leak on to reservor

[@MarkBerry-fx7zp]

I’ve had everything done replaced the pump changed the o rings and belt tensioner pulley .It still whines what next .Is air getting in somewhere?

[@bosskey23]

@@MarkBerry-fx7zp is there any power steering fluid leaking? Maybe there is a leak in one of the tubes. Check the steering gearbox.

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@MarkBerry-fx7zp check for leaks it maybe sucking air from some where and check to see if the pipe connector to resorvar r hard that’s also an jssue

[@ryanredding1533]

@@MarkBerry-fx7zpThe whining sound could also be from low and/or dirty transmission fluid. Get it drained and refilled.

Any advice on getting air out the power steering hose/pump or whatever yoi would call it. My car sometimes the steering wheel doesnt want to turn when im reversing in to a parkong spot and i noticed that when it strarts to do that the power steering hose makes a weird noise snd the power steering hose shakes. It happens from time to time. Someone told me i may have air in there somewhere but not sure how to get that to go away. Dont want to put money in it if its a quick fix

[@RBTheMechanic]

It self blended top of the fluid and check for leaks if u got bad o rings it might need fixing

[@frankwhite555]

@@RBTheMechanic ok I'll do that. Thanks

[@monaeeuniquee2534]

@@RBTheMechanic need advice so my hose was leaking it got token off to get changed but never did so put back on the old one but now it’s still super stiff I’ve tried the turning of the wheel to try to get air out and it jus whines super loud which I wasn’t sure if it’s supposed to do that so idk I just need some advice because even tho it was leaking it was still drivable as long as fluid was in

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@monaeeuniquee2534 did u check to see if n pump failed u can do by observing rpm change of pump makes pressure the pressure switch will tell ecm there’s load and bring rpm up

[@Xx_eeveemocha_xX]

My 02 accord power steering fluid pumping back out with all the bubble … is this mean I need o ring change, Or power steering pump chsnge?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Think so prolly it’s sucking air imprint has lot of air it need to settle

[@danieljaguar2473]

Could something like this cause oil to spill on my driver side floorboard?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Inside the car? Dont think so

[@danieljaguar2473]

@ any ideas? It’s all over the top of my floor Matt and there seems to be fluid dripping slowly from under my steering wheel

[@danieljaguar2473]

@@RBTheMechanic is there a power steering pump inside the cabin?

[@Jake.Gentry]

Odd. I just had my power steering pump replaced on my 2007 Honda crv and there’s a shot ton of bubbles in the reservoir. It also makes the same noise like the one in this video. What is the point of using those exact seals?

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@Jake.Gentry they go bad and it can suck air from there and cause the noise

[@Jake.Gentry]

@@RBTheMechanic but I just had the new power steering pump put in today?

[@Playforkeeps18.26]

@@Jake.Gentry even if you got a new pump doesnt necessarily mean those o-rings were replaced as they arent a part of the pump.

[@Jake.Gentry]

@@Playforkeeps18.26 I had to take it back and it seemed to be that they didn’t replace one of the seals, or it might have come undone when reinstalling. I went with a new duralast power steering pump but next time I think I’m gonna try the OEM reman, it’s significantly cheaper compared to brand new from Honda.

[@jjspatel]

Please provide suggestion, I have 2012 accord, When I turn extreme right or extreme left - 90 degree turn, I get sound of Chreee for a second and then while returning to mid position there is no sound, should I change those o-rings or just leave it if it's minimal noise when turning extreme right or left?, there are no bubbles or no noise as you've shown in video.

[@RBTheMechanic]

U might be forcing the pump to push further than it has to go and it can cause belt to squeak

[@truckingwithtrey9396]

is it possible for the pump to leak BECAUSE of a bad o ring ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

No not cuz of line o rings pump has its own seals fix what need to be fixed then see if there’s other leaks

[@jesusmata9565]

I got a 04 acura tsx, after all, mine kept leaking from the top, i tightened again, but still leaks, did you use lock tight on the bolt?, i didnt want to over tight, noise did go away.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Just this video no I jus tighten it how ever if pipe r hardened it will not seal

[@Xx_eeveemocha_xX]

Orange color go in low pressure n black ring go in the back ( high pressure)? Does it matter where color go to?

[@RBTheMechanic]

They r diffrent sizes just match the sizes

[@Xx_eeveemocha_xX]

Thank for the fast reply.. I changed already .. bubbles has stop but the noise is still there when I turn the wheel … filled up the fluid near the max level .. but notice I got lower … can u guess what happen?

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@Xx_eeveemocha_xX give it few days other wise check for other leaks. Also squeeze the pipes they shouldn’t be hard if they r hard that means it will not create the grip to seal the pipe

[@Xx_eeveemocha_xX]

When I turn on the car.. I notice the leak came out from that power steering pressure hose/line…. … when I guess I have to call someone fix it… since I can’t lift r know how to fix 🙄

[@RBTheMechanic]

@@Xx_eeveemocha_xX oh u gotta replace that then I have video on it

[@jesusmata9565]

You have other video, im try to torque tighten the two top bolts.

[@RBTheMechanic]

U can try but if they hard like rock they will not seal

[@LisaMichelle1]

Was the wheel a lil stiff to turn prior to changing the o rings ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Yes

[@humanyoda]

Why does the temperature influence the sound?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Cuz the cold make the pipes and seals hard and they don’t do the job like these suppose to and lets air seep in or leak out

[@SebastianCastro-i7q]

Works for accord 2004 v6 ?

Yes

Where did you get the seals

My local part store

[@arielarenas]

What exactly name parts?

[@RBTheMechanic]

The power steering pump o ring

[@arielarenas]

Thanks i

[@Pi0j0]

What were the seals called? Like is there a specific name and can I get them at oreillys ?

[@RBTheMechanic]

U have to ask them for print seals for power steering lines low and high pressure connecting to ps pump

[@herbertsimmons6483]

Generally referred to as "O" rings. One for each pressure ((h & l) lines.

[@herbertsimmons6483]

Whoa, I'm on something else! Sorry😮!

[@JamalHaggins-ne4qh]

Question tho I’m having this problem whining in the morning I have to fill it every morning it leak everywhere and it bubble up do yall think it’s the pump

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not sure without looking at it so check to see where it’s leaking from common areas are pump seals o-rings and return lines

[@supernintendo7579]

I tried replacing the o ring, the reservoir, the hose to the pump, and I STILL HAVE AIR IN SYSTEM!!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Is the hose hard? If it’s hard it will not seat and cause air in system check the whole system

[@E85_STI]

So what I do is take a heat gun and warm up the pulley nut and it goes away so I ordered the rebuild seal kit.

[@RBTheMechanic]

Ok replace the pump I guess than rebuilt the whole thing unless u ordered the 2 o rings then just do that

[@E85_STI]

@@RBTheMechanic so my next question is because heat expands the seal in question could I use some AT-205 reseal in the power steering to help swell the o ring or recondition it so it’s not flat and stop the air on cold start? I will do a rebuild on the pump or replace it entirely when I have the time. Just looking for your thoughts on that.

I cant find the o rings anywhere
