Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Cars / January 2006power steering pump, 2001 Grand Prix
The power steering pump on my 2001 Grand Prix is beginning to make noise. I think it has a bearing going bad. The pump is in the back of the motor, down low. Anyone changed one of these? Any tips or hints? Thanks, Terry > The power steering pump on my 2001 Grand Prix is beginning to make noise. > I > think it has a bearing going bad. The pump is in the back of the motor, > down low.
