New power steering pump making noise
Well its a reman, I snapped the shaft in the original while trying to do a doughnut. The shaft broke where it necked down do go through the pump rotor. I have never seen this happen. Anyway I installed an AcDelco reman pump from a local dealer. I primed the pump by jacking the car up and turning the wheels from side to side until I saw no more bubbbles coming up through the resivior. I used automatic transmission fluid inseated of power steering fluid. I have done this before and never had a problem. It seems like I remember reading it was better. The pump is whinning. I may try some synthetic power steering fluid and see if it helps. Anyone have any magic tricks?
