Power Steering
Power steering seems to be making a lot of noise. May need pump???
Syptoms are: 1 Some squealing when first started. 2 More squeling when turning wheel. 3 Seems to get better as car warms up. 4 Pump looks a little wet, but resevoir is just at low level. Any other possibilities besides power steering pump?? How much???? 97 rodeo

Re: Power Steering
I replaced power steering pump. A pain to get out, but it was definetly the problem. My question is how to get all the fluid flushed out??? I drained all I could from hoses, I cleaned the reservoir. But after running a while, fluid is brown.

Re: Power Steering
Its a pain to do. Need 2 ppl. Run the hose that returns the fluid to the reservoir to a drain pan. Plug the open fitting on the reservoir. Have a helper start the engine and turn the steering wheel side to side while you pour fresh fluid in.
Doing mine myself I went through a few quarts of fluid and made a big mess. Since I couldnt pour and turn the wheels at the same time I didnt get all mine flushed. Will just have to do.
