Alright, so you know that sound that comes from your power steering pump when you go to full lock? Now its doing that all the time, and gets louder with RPM's, there's also kind of a knocking sound coming from the pump as well. It seems to be getting worse as I drive it more. So my question is, is there any aftermarket pumps out there, and if not, should I go reman or oem? I did a search on , and plan on flushin the system before I put the new one on, but guys seemed to be having quality issues with remans.
I'm 99% sure its the pump going out though, am I correct? The fluid looks fine, filled up, smells fine, good color. I have also been kind of noticing a pulsing in the steering during turns when it is cold, and all these symptoms have just showed up in the past three weeks.
So to recap, Do you think its my pump? How hard is it to replace? OEM, reman, or aftermarket? Also, should I park this thing until I get it fixed,and what type of price are we talking about for a new pump. I can do the work myself no problem.
Thanks for all the help guys!
