Subject:PS pump getting noisy
From:Mark McCulley
Date:Wed, 14 Oct 1998 08:32:29 -0700

I recently noticed that my power steering pump is making a noise like it has
a bad bearing. Similar to the noise a failing water pump makes. Coincidental
probably, but I began to hear the noise right after I had the PS fluid
changed. How do these usually fail? Do they seize or just get noisier and
noisier until you can't stand it any more? When you replace the pump do you
have to bleed the hydraulic lines? Any advice appreciated.
