What Causes the Power Steering Pump to Make Abnormal Noises?
1 Answers
Power steering pump abnormal noises are caused by low oil level, clogged filter, presence of debris, or loose installation. It is necessary to check whether there is any vacuum tube leakage during engine idling, which may lead to abnormal noises. The first sign of a damaged power steering pump is heavy steering and loud abnormal noises from the power steering pump when turning the wheel. The following are the reasons for power steering pump abnormal noises: 1. Oil leakage from the power steering pump, resulting in a low oil level, which causes abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel. 2. Poor lubrication of the power steering pump during cold starts, leading to internal wear and abnormal noises. 3. Loose installation of the power steering pump, causing abnormal noises during operation.
