Before replacing pump fovthis issue .. there is a filter in the reservoir that puts air in the system replace reservoir 15 flush the system fill and burp the system guaranteed fix
Can all of those symptoms also be caused by your rack and pinion?
Can you damage your steering column if you drive with failed power steering pump?
My power steering fluid literally looks like oil and when I turn right or left the steering wheel gets sticky, then jerks really hard to whatever way I was turning. Hard to explain
Can you put any kind of power steering fluid in a 2008 Nissan Altima
yes
I think I have a leak at the top hose that's connected to my power steering reservoir because the fluid seems to be leaking but stops leaking at a certain point. I think there's a crack at the top of the rubber hose somewhere around the clip since the top of the hose was kinda yucky.
Hi mate I think I have the same issue because I've been filling it up then normally but oils coming from the top hoses somewhere...but not sure if it is untill I give it a degrease n pressure wash and if this is common and not from the power steering pump or rack then I'm happy if not..my 5 series has only done 135ks
And on the ground in my shed it's only leaking on that one side power steering reservoir side
Do they ever make a loud clicking when bearing are bad
Yes
Can the PS pump cause rattle/clunking noise when the engine is idling?
I have some vibrations thatbare getting harsher as the engine gets hot and it's mainly at idle.
Also when it's idling and I'm moving the steering wheel it it vibrates like hell and it makes a lot of noise.
Could it be that?

I had the exact same problem as described by sebastianonita9921, for about day. Left the car off for 48 hours, Now the power steering is completely non existent but can still turn, just HARD to turn. 2001 Nissan pathfinder @@MechanicBundy Could this be the power steering pump?
Have a serpentine belt on hand. If that pulley damages the belt you’ll end up stranded getting a tow.
👌
Had bad mounting gear mount would that misaligned. It ?
How do you fix
Mine wobbles.and touching oil pan on and off
i HAVE AIR IN THE RESERVOIR. HELP!!!!
After replacing the power steering lines and rack I had power steering for a while and now it is hard again. I don’t see any leaks. Also no sound coming from the pump. Do you think I have a bad power steering pump?
Could be the internal pressure valve. Clogged of defective.
Probably Rack and Pinion
Possibly air bubble stopped the flow. Air locked in system.
How the air can seep in, it is a positive pressure system
Reservoir to pump side
Can a bad PS cause the check engine light
No
Definitely not
Squealing & stiff turning equals time fix steering ASAP😯
Had none of these symptoms. Got stuck in a parking lot this morning, got back into truck turned it on and couldn’t even turn anymore. Fluids looked alright, belt was good and the steering rack was replaced 9,000km ago…so confused
Dam that sucks man. Sorry you had to go through that. Same happened to me so I know the feeling
What was wrong?
@@boomer1049 steering rack went. Dealership says they replaced it 9,000km ago with an aftermarket one so I made them pay for it and stuck them with the 4K bill
@@Rickwynne What make and model do you have and is it a 2wd?
I have none of those symptoms. I only have whining and groaning when turning the wheel.
