Is my power steering pump toast? Posted by GFW3pedals [Email] (#405) [Profile/Gallery] (more from GFW3pedals) on Sun, 24 Dec 2017 13:40:38 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Must have been a sudden catastrophic failure of a hose somewhere in there. Fine on the way in to work, noisy pump and partially boosted steering for the 20 mile drive home. I just wanted to make it home and avoid the tow, I know that's not always the smartest thing to do. Reservoir had about an inch in it, so I refilled with the proper fluid and started car, immediately noticed it spilling out from under the car. Pump still noisy and remaining fluid looked like a frappachino. Have no idea what hose failed, pump pulley seems sturdy and watching it run, didn't wobble. Did I fry the pump by running it without proper fluid?
