squealing power steering

[ptrlester]

i think yung belt yun kapag nag light ka nag spin fast yung alternator- baka nasa belt ung ng power steering

it's not the belt sir. i had replaced it with a new one too. it was the 10-year old gunky, smelty power steering fluid that was the culprit. after cleaning the PS pump and replacing the PSF, the steering became smooth as ever before...thanks anyway

ohhhh... yun pala yun... tuwing kailan ba dapat nag papalit ng atf ng powersteering kailangan ba every 6 months or everytime mag change oil?

[SIZE=3]sir: i'm having the same problem with my power steering... it squeaks everytime i fully turn the steering wheel left and right.. plus i hear a "krag-krag" sound or a dragging sound that looks like tires are being dragged... how did you clean the PS pump? did you had it clean by a service shop... what shop? hoping that you could help me in this regard... thanks in advance!![/SIZE]

sir i did the cleaning myself...first drain the old fluid from the return hose (hose going back to the PS fluid reservoir).start the engine then turn to lock left-right to purge out the old fluid. open the PS pump then clean it too. it's simple to open then re-asemble the pump. just be careful not to misplace not even one of the flat bearings. there are about 10 of them.im not geek nor tecky but i was able to fix it so im sure you can do it too...good luck!

i did the cleaning sir...first you have to drain the old fluid from the return hose (hose going back to the PS reservoir). start the engine then turn the wheels to lock, left-right to purge out the fluid.remove the PS belt so you can pull down the the power steering pump.it's easy to diassemble and re-assemble, just be careful not to misplace not even one of the flat bearings (there are about 10 pcs).soak the pump in gasoline to clean out of debris then re-assemble. 1 liter of "genuine" honda (if your car is honda) PS fluid should be more than enough to refill the system...good luck!
