Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / August 200796 Voyager - Power Steering noise
96 Grand Voyager / 3.3L - Pwr Steering pump (used pump from wreckers) & high pressure P.S. hose were recently changed; van ran good for a few weeks; now getting the occasional squeal / rough spot when turning wheel; seems more so when the van is cold /first started?? Fluid level is ok. Any ideas? Bad pump (again)? pwr steering rack (hope not!)? Anybody have luck with the P.S. fluid addins/restorers..ie. Lucas? Help appreciated...

If the power steering > fluid looks dirty you might want to try flushing the sytem first. The P.S. was flushed/ replaced with new "generic brand" fluid when the pump was changed. Is it worth flushing again; and then refilling with Chrysler ATF+4 tranny fluid (I read that when searching, is that really ok to use?) or Lucas P.S. fluid? Or just go ahead with the rack? Thanks! i would'nt jump to replacing rack yet have u takin the belt off to see if the pulley turns freely & even before that i would check tension of fan belt.if u put new belt on when u change pump they normaly seat in causing belt to losen up.

Good Luck & im hoping on the lose belt !! Signatureinafogg http://www.automotiveforums.com could it be just the belt needs adjustment?? Signatureinafogg http://www.automotiveforums.com |
