bro ur power steering hose burst when in driving or idling?? is the sound come out from oil steering pump? or any where else.

 

[angrysnail]

do you try bleed the steering system?..how the sound?high pitching sound when turning?

 

[Jason_10]

Did you use a replacement hose?

 

[weikee]

if you use non original hose, many case it will have sound. You need to use original hose. not cheap for original hose.

i change one before ori with thermal insulation (alu), damn x-pensive & also damn susah to chg.
for my case is just leak niah..

it burst while driving. hi steering load not that bad. my opinion is just like it's insufficient fluid pumped to the power steering pump.

so solve liao bo??

My last "noisy" steering rack experience is due to low fluid too...good luck..:rolleyes:

havent solved it yet. changed to orginal hose also still makes that sound. must be some dirt blocked somewhere...

could it be the :

Bleeding Hydraulic (Cont’d)
Incomplete air bleeding will cause the following to occur. When this happens, bleed air again.
a. Air bubbles in reservoir tank
b. Clicking noise in oil pump
c. Excessive buzzing in oil pump
Fluid noise may occur in the valve or oil pump. This is common when the vehicle is stationary or while turning steering wheel slowly. This does not affect performance or durability of the system
