Problem with power steering pump

**Yabu** · January 23rd, 2009 05:02 AM

Whenever I start the engine, I hear a whirring noise and the mechanic said that there is something wrong with the bearing in the power steering pump. They told me that it has to be replaced and they said that a surplus will do since the original is too expensive. And that the fuel pump can't just be fixed because once you open it, matatanggal daw mga O-ring and the fluid inside.

Surplus - 5.5k
Original - 23.7k

Now i don't have the budget to replace it with an orignal. Do you guys think worth it palitan ng surplus? Or is there any other fix for this?

Personally I dont have anything against surplus parts as long as it can be tested and returned if found "defective" within a few days or weeks.

For vital parts – I prefer OEM for less worries and high risk of back jobs, best thing to do is compare the casa price to those that carry Honda OEMs outside. Good luck

YABU, baka gusto mo palitan na lang ng surplus na p/s pump. Pareho ng kotse ko maingay din ang p/s pump,may tama na pala yung loob esp yun bearing, sa evangelista napapalitan ko 2k lng k n ngayon p/s ko.

I consulted honda q. ave and sabi nila meron naman pala silang repair kit nito. so try ko muna paayos sa kanila before replacing it. mga 3.5k lang damage. so try ko muna siguro yun.

i'd go for the repair kit path.

have you chnaged your fluid? if you did, was it bled properly? improperly bled ps system can cause noise.

I haven't changed it but i added some kasi mejo bawas na. I'm not sure if it was bled. Well i already left may car at honda q. ave. hopefully they can fix it and d ganun kalaki yung damage.

AGA, same din ng p/s ko before ko palitan ng surplus. humuhuni pag sagad left or right then nagkaroon ng whinning sound na naririnig ko din sa loob ng oto kht ilakas ko pa volume ng stereo, annoyed na ko sa tunog nya at kht pina repair ko for 2.5k saglitlang bumalik na ulit sa dati kaya nagdecide na ko maghanap sa evangelista,luckily nkahanap me ng mura 2k na surplus at sila n din nagkabit. marami ko napagtanungan nag start sa 4.5k then meron 3.5 etc pro un na ang pinakamura kaya ok na p/s ko ngayon, i'll give u his # kung gusto mo. peace.
