5 Signs Of Bad Steering Pump

5 Signs of Bad Power Steering Pump.

A certain amount of pressure is required for the power steering pump to distribute fluid. When a car is idling, less pressure is needed to distribute fluid, but when a car has been running for a long period of time, high amounts of pressure are required. There are several symptoms of a bad or failing power steering pump, so if you notice the following, have the pump looked at as soon as possible.

If you hear a whining noise while turning the wheel of your vehicle, something is wrong with your power steering system. It could be a leak in the power steering pump or the fluid level could be low. If the fluid level is left this way for too long it can damage the whole power steering system. Either way, the power steering pump needs to be looked at and maybe replaced by Car Parts Nigeria.

While turning a corner, if your steering feels slow to respond to the turn you are making, chances are your power steering pump may be failing. Along with this, you may hear the whining noise. If you notice these two symptoms together, contact Car Parts Nigeria to have your power steering pump replaced.

Not only can your steering wheel be slow to respond, it can also become stiff if the power steering is failing. Drive slowly down the road and turn a corner; take note if your steering wheel seems stiff. If it does, your power steering pump may be going bad.

While whining noises normally come when you turn the vehicle, squealing noises come when the vehicle first starts. They can happen when you make sharp turns as well, but they are more likely to happen for a minute as you start your car. The squealing noise will come from the hood of your vehicle, and is a sign your power steering pump may be going bad and causing the belt to slip.

Groaning noises are the worst noises your power steering pump can make. They will get worse and worse as your power steering pump continues to fail. If the power steering system fails from lack of fluid it can damage the whole system including the steering rack and lines.

As soon as you notice weird noises coming from your vehicle, the steering is slow to respond, or you have a stiff wheel, have your power steering pump serviced and if needed, replaced.
