What is the problem with the power steering pump squeaking?

[BradyFitz]

The reason for the steering gear squeaking may be the power steering pump belt slipping. Oil leakage from the power steering pump or damage to the pump can cause abnormal noise from the power steering pump. It is necessary to replace the parts in time. Abnormal noise, stuttering, and heavier steering when the vehicle is turning are all caused by a faulty power steering pump. Remove the power steering pump oil reservoir: It can be pulled off by hand. Remove the spring clip: Use a tool to remove the spring clip at the bottom. There is a small hole under the housing. Insert a tool into the small hole and push hard. Remove the small retaining ring: After removing the spring clip, knock off the rear cover and remove the small retaining ring on top. Pull them out together: After removing the retaining ring, the pump shaft and pulley can be pulled out together.
