Power steering grind!!

[chukolac719]

I have a problem, the power steering pump is very noisy it sounds like it's grinding when im idling or driving, i checked the fluid and it was full and good, i took some out and put some Lucas int it and its still doing it,it also leaks a bit. What can this be do i need a new pump??

I think you need a new pump. The idler pulley from the pump is were the noise is coming from. But first you have to identify were the leak is coming from.

Definately sounds like your bearings going bad. Replace the pump and locate the leak so you can fix it.

Get a new pump and NEVER put "Luca's witch oil" in the pump again.

PS fluid and that 'witch oil' hate each other.
