"Searches for tutorial because car breaks down" I hope y'all have an exquisite day lol

[@maxamillionese8519]

Lol right . I almost reported him for bad joke.

[@Shiftready]

Most helpful! Thank you!

[@d77543020]

Every single one of these signs of a bad power steering pump is the same as a bad rack and pinion

[@ramonelegendre5098]

Exactly, I've been going at it with my steering rack over a week now and even tho I've changed the seals three times, it's still leaking😭😭😭😭

[@andrewdurfee2891]

Mine looks like it's leaking from up by the pump that should differentiate it from the rack and pinion

[@sergiomoya8546]

​@@ramonelegendre5098needs to be rebuild using new seal wont fix it if is worn out..

[@chind0na]

To those with a shaking/shuddering Chevy: I was told (Firestone) to replace the rotors but that didn’t fix the issue. Changing the trans fluid solved it. Look up Chevy shudder.

[@jeffersonsteiner3965]

Knowledge is power.

[@easyautofix]

Absolutely!

[@EGMATV1]

Thanks Master!!!

[@easyautofix]

You are the master!

[@justinmotorfix]

Spot on symptoms right there!

[@easyautofix]

Thank you!

[@user-uo6xq7qc4w]

I just replaced the O rings in mine (Acura MDX 2002). At high speeds power steering works... zero to 30 - it's like driving a Sherman Tank. Any ideas? - thanks

[@zachzw]

Power steering fluid is not always red, ive never had red power steering fluid (i drive mostly GM cars), it will depend on the car

[@RofICopters]

red, pink, or amber. anything else is contaminated.

[@jaceb7136]

​@RofICopters they sell clear PS fluid as well.

[@JunaidKhan996]

My car power steering fluid reservoir got empty after a day. I saw a big spot below it and the steering is making noise while turn but it isn't hard. I filled the reservoir bottle again and the noise was gone. Is the pump bad or something else?

[@Sexyduffman420]

I got a car with 232k on the clock. She's leaking power steering fluid very slowly everywhere. The insane humming noise while turning... now that's impressive. Original components 2005 camry. About to swap all lines pump and rack. If you gotta change one.... you should change the other. People are beating you up in the comments bro. Make another video and tell them to buy both and stop crying.

[@estelamontilla3170]

My Kia Forte is making an annoying noise at idle and it gets louder as I accelerate. Thinking this may be the issue.

[@user-pr5]

I kia had a growling noise at a cold start only can this be my issue?

[@fcrealbulldog9831]

My 2012 dodge durango drives normal when straight but looses power and makes a growling noise when turning??

[@diplordfarquad]

I changed my alternator and now when I turn the car on it makes noises. I try turning the wheel and it goes a little bit and then completely stops and when it stops it also stops the spinning of my alternator. Do you know why this is?

[@lowhombre]

Hello, I just recently loss PS on my rx330 Lexus and fluid coming out of reservoir when I try to turn the steering wheel. Is this a pump problem? TIA

[@zachzw]

U have to have somone look and see exactly where the fluid is coming from, if it is coming out of the pump w the cap on (unless its been way over filled) then there must be a crack in the reservoir. A small leak in a line could also squirt when you turn the wheel

[@Bighemi82]

Can a rack whine when it's bad

[@AdultToons]

I have a 2007 Pontiac G5 and the electric power steering keeps locking up when I turn it.

[@Dnasty1]

I just put a new(reman from dealer) pump in my car and my steering whine is now louder. Does this mean I got a bad pump or they didn’t remanufacture it properly?

[@tenmil1]

Either one could do that, or foamed fluid and air bubbles in it could cause it to whine.

[@zachzw]

Follow the proper bleeding procedure for ur car to rule out air in the system

[@TheVictoriousKicks]

How does it affect acceleration?

[@krayzietj]

Cause its putting too much of a load on the electrical system and the engine gets effected by that as well

[@micheleperrian4585]

I have a 1999 Toyota Camry and when it rains, and I run into some water, say when I make a turn and water is there, my steering wheel locks up as in turn for a few secs. And proceeds to drive as if nothing happens. Can someone help me out with this?

[@derekbernhard9191]

Your accessory belt is probably slipping when wet. See if you are missing any plastic splash guards in your wheel well or under the car, or check if you need a new belt or belt tensioner

[@Joshua-th8rs]

I drive a 2008 Toyota Yaris, when i speed up in the highway, the entire car and steering wheel vibrates🙈 but when I slow down,it drives smooth again. But soon as I begin to speed up,it will vibrate extensively again. Any ideas what the problem could be?

[@NoName-ds1jt]

You need to have your wheels balanced

[@que1949]

This is probably your tires. Every time I went over 60 my car would shake. I went to the tire shop and he spotted it before I even told him. I got a new tire and haven’t had that problem since.

[@Joshua-th8rs]

Thanks guys👍 Will try it today

[@BodieHammer]

Had ours fixed today, exact same symptoms. Bad CV axel damaged motor mount. $720 all in. Good luck!

[@tyronerai9865]

Hey I changed the pump an still the steering wheel still stiff to turn 😢

[@ItsPainnz]

bouncing steering wheel left and right turns only whilst stationary? full fluid bad-ish fluid

[@ivannoyola9681]

What does it mean when my steering wheel gets hard just the right side ?

[@VQ37MOMO]

If it's easy to turn the wheel then gets hard you could have a warn or seized intermediate shaft which is what connects the wheel to the rack. When it's worn or seized one side of the wheel will be easy to turn and then it might get hard to turn on the other side.

[@gabrielplaysguitar7728]

Mine is smoking not sure if it’s leaking

[@pjwoo276]

why do you, and so many others say the ps fluid will be red. I just bought auto zone ps fluid and it s clear.

[@nickt7644]

It all depends on the vehicle, some use power steering fluid while others sometimes use transmission fluid

[@zachzw]

Ive personally never driven a car with red power steering fluid, maybe its a foreign car thing, not sure, mine has always been clear and i mostly drive GM cars. I don't agree w the video saying your power steering fluid "WILL be red." May be red or clear, sometimes a yellowish tint

[@JP-cx7vo]

Tell me something I don’t know or are already am experiencing!! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@jeffallen6937]

What if the vehicle wanders as if it needs an alignment even thoe your alignment is good?

[@chandlermaddox2439]

I have this same problem and need to figure it out

[@44punisherable]

Probably windstorm

[@bretfeeney1072]

It could be bad ball joints.

[@804MRMAN]

I have only had Lexus and Toyota cars. But usually, if all is well, as far as suspension parts and the ball joints are good then it's the steering rack or could simply be Zero Point Calibration which is MANDATORY after an alignment because the steering angle sensor is vital to the abs, vsc, traction control, vehicle speed etc.

[@mattsharpe2861]

Welp, this didn’t really help but thanks anyway
