What it does

A whine that changes with steering, a leak or heavy steering are common signs the pump is wearing out. Worn suspension and steering parts show up as clunks, wandering, uneven tire wear and a vague feel; fresh parts restore control, and performance parts sharpen it.

Installation & tips

• Bleed the air out of the system after installation by turning the wheel lock to lock with the engine running.
• Power steering fluid: Use the fluid type your vehicle calls for.
• Hoses: Old pressure and return hoses often leak.
• Put the new part next to the old one and compare the shape, mounting points and connections before you install it.
• This part affects how the vehicle stops, steers or holds the road. If you are not sure how to fit it, have it installed or checked by a qualified mechanic.
