What fixes noisy power steer pump

Post by CB0569 »

My power steering pump is as noisy as anything.
Is there a bearing that can be replaced in it?
If so, how can it be done?

Any other ideas will be helpful.
Thanks

Bearings can be replaced--the same type of power steering pump is common to many Nissan cars. By swapping over brackets etc, its possible to convert the remote resevoir type the car uses, to an integrated style that the Patrol uses. Noisy pump can be air in system as well

It growls alot and when you turn the wheels it growls even louder.
Also sometimes when the wheel gets turned it gets very difficult to moveeg as if there is no power steer at all.
