The power steering pump is responsible for providing hydraulic assistance to the steering system, and when it fails, steering becomes difficult. Here are signs that the power steering pump may need to be replaced:

Common Signs:

Whining o r Squealing Noise: If you hear a high-pitched whining o r squealing noise when turning the steering wheel, it may indicate that the power steering pump is failing o r has low fluid levels.

Difficulty Turning the Wheel: A gradual loss of power assistance can cause the steering wheel to become harder to turn, particularly at low speeds o r when parking.

Steering Fluid Leaks: Leaking power steering fluid from the pump o r hoses can cause the pump to fail if left unchecked.

Erratic Steering: If the steering feels unpredictable o r jerky when turning, this may be a sign of a faulty power steering pump.

Burnt Smell: A burning smell near the power steering pump can indicate overheating and may suggest that the pump is failing.

🛠️ Fix:
Replace the Power Steering Pump if it shows signs of failure, and ensure that all fluid leaks are repaired.

Check Fluid Levels and top up as needed. Use the correct type of fluid recommended by the manufacturer.

Inspect Hoses and connections for leaks, and replace any damaged parts.
