Power Steering Pressure hose inquiry

[milo012007]

Hi folks, pa-assist naman po dito sa noisy power steering problem ko.

I noticed that my power steering pressure hose had a very small swelling with possibility of bursting anytime soon so I immediately planned to replace it. I called up Honda and was told that the pressure hose would cost me 10k + installation cost. Due to the price, I called up Piyeza and was told that the part was available for 2,800 + 300 installation fee.

I have heard that there were 2 aftermarket brands of the pressure hose - isang maingay at iyung isang hindi maingay which is slightly priced higher. So I asked Piyeza and they told me that what they have is the silent one. So, I immediately had it installed.

Ngayon, when I turn the steering wheel, the power steering is noisy. I could hear the "eeeennnnnnnggggg..." sound in the cabin everytime I turn left or right. No sound when I don't turn the steering wheel.

May na-encounter na ba kayong ganito? Is the sound really coming from the pressure hose? Can you recommend a shop that can fix this? Or can you recommend where I can buy the original hose at a much lower price? My ride is a civic vti-s '05.

thank you very much.

did your original p/s hose have a restrictor? did the shop who replaced your p/s hose bleed the system? are you using honda or compatible p/s fluid in the system?

Hi Jick,

thank you for your reply. let me answer your questions as best as I could. The hose was installed by the Piyeza mechanic.

1) did your original p/s hose have a restrictor?

No idea. But what I saw is that they used all the parts that came with the p/s hose. i'm not sure which one is the restrictor.

2) did the shop who replaced your p/s hose bleed the system?

I don't think so. how do you bleed the system? Did you mean, keep the steering wheel fluid reservoir lid open, start the engine and then turn the steering wheel? If this is it, no we didn't do that. It was a quick change.

3) are you using honda or compatible p/s fluid in the system?

I'm just using the steering fluid brand that you buy from any spare part store. Not sure if it's honda compatible. I'll go ask Honda.

thanks.

some p/s hose have restrictors to reduce the growl. this is installed along the length of the hose and appears as if it were a metallic tube or ferrule around the circumference of the hose. honda and acura are very sensitive to other than honda/acura compatible p/s fluid. as far as bleeding the system, this is usually done with the front tires unloaded (taken off the ground) and the car is on jackstands or car hoist, then, with the engine running at idle, turn the wheel left to right, right to left and so on avoiding hitting turn stops in either direction until the noise is eliminated. your "mechanic" is an amateur. have him do the process at earliest convenience or your pump gets damaged by cavitation

Jick, thank you bro. I'll quickly check on your suggestions. again thanks. balitaan kita kung mawawala iyung tunog.

[voltscastillo]

dont use off the shelf ps fluid. use only Honda PSF.

may ganito ding tunog yung ES ko... mahal pala ng hose.

Sir kamusta ang nawala na ba ang problem? Have a similar problem na may ingay or ugong na tunog when I turn the steering wheel.

Not sure if may ugong when I turn the steering wheel while running (road noise kasi from the outside mas malakas) but it is more evident when I turn the steering wheel from stand still.

Also, from time to time biglang tumitigas ang steering wheel from stand still. Kapag ganito umaabante ako ng unti then lalambot na ulit ang steering wheel.

Ang nakakainis is lumabas lahat ang problem AFTER ko ipa- O/H ang power steering pump ko and changed the hoses, kasi sabi ng CASA may leaks na daw. But nung hindi pa pinapagawa ok pa lahat!

Btw, ang pressure hose is the hose na nakakabit sa taas ng power steering pump diba?

From what I remember a long time ago, Meron din brand ng mga hose, parang good year yata magandang brand, pars walang ingay aside from same diameter etc

[OTEP]

Just bleed the system para tahimik. Even a 12k hose will make noises if you dont bleed it.

[OTEP]

Good year, bridgestone, etc ang gamit ng hose shops. Pang high pressure applications unlike the flimsy original hose.

[tip_tipid]

ever wondered why they have clamp the hose somewhere near the steering rack end?

[megaflex]

for Honda cars, medyo maselan sa noise ang power steering hose niya kaya hindi pwedeng basta basta kung anong hose ang ikabit.
may kamahalan talaga ang power steering hose na brand new sa casa kaya mas advisable na sa mga hydraulic hose center niyo ipapagawa iyan. depende sa haba ng hose ang presyo.

may hydraulic hose center kami along commonwealth avenue in Q.C. at kung malapit kayo, mas okay na dalhin niyo yung kotse niyo at kami mismo ang checheck up ng power steering. kung gusto niyo rin ipabaklas mismo sa amin, pede rin pero additional charge yun pero mura pa rin naman. Magandang hose ang ikakabit namin at maganda rin ang pagka crimp. Two months warranty naman kaya in case na may problema pa rin, aayusin namin ulit. kayang tumagal ng ilang years ang power steering hose na gawa namin at bibihira naman ang back jobs na customers. kung power steering pump naman ang problema , marami rin na mekaniko ang mag aayos at katabi rin lang namin ang mga autosupplies.

For products, branch locations and contact details pakicheck nalang po ng tsikot ads ko.

Sir, nakipag sapalaran ako sa pag bili ng taiwan replacement ng hose for my CRV-Gen2. Update ko tong forum pag napakabit ko na sa shell

Nabili ko sa Kalentong priced at 2.8K. Punta pa akong shell kinabukasan para pakabit. Sana okay ang lahat

[soyuz1234]

Pinakabit ko sa Toto Power Steering Specialist kanina lang, no bubbles, steering becomes lighter, very noticeable decrease in squeaking noise when maneuvering, walang tagas, so far so good. Ni drive ko around the metro. E.Rod to, Port Area and to San Juan. So far so good

Hi soyuz1234! good to hear na ok ang power steering system mo. IF you don't mind pwede mo ba update forum after 1 week or 2 weeks kasi I also did the same sa CRV Gen2 ko. Nakipag sapalaran din ako sa murang replacement. First few days ay no problem at tahimik ang power steering system. After a week or 2 nag start na siyang mag ingay (eeeennnngggg) eveytime i-turn ko ang steering wheel. If you continue experiencing quiet power steering system ng matagal sa 2 weeks hingi ako ng request syo kung saan mo nabili ang hose mo.

Thanks.
