Power Steering Problems
I replaced my power steering pump on my 2000 3.4L grand am. The pump is extremely loud. I pulled the cap off and there was a bunch of foam on the top. I started it and turned the wheel a few times and then let all of the air bubbles settle. I have tried doing this 5 or 6 times and there is still foam. The power steering pump has gotten less noisy every time I do this but is still very noisy. Any suggestions.

Re: Power Steering Problems
Sounds like you still have air in the system, keep bleeding it like you have been. Also, check the tension on the belt.

Re: Power Steering Problems
yeah once it gets foamy it needs to sit for 3-4 hrs, sometimes overnite.
Try only starting it for a few seconds, turning the wheel left to right slowly.
