Power stering how to replace

take it to a power steering specilaist shop as it indicates that the oil is bypassing incorrectly , aireating excessively and overheating

You will need basic hand tools. First take off the serpentine belt. Unhook the high and low pressure lines, they should be toward the rear of the pump. Remove the four bolts securing it to the engine. Replace the pump and make sure to refill fluid.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The steering is controlled by the steering rack,
& they get stiff because no one changes the fluid
every 3 years

The upper strut bearings fail & make steering stiff

Doubt the pump was a problem at all

ALL FORDS WILL DO THAT THERE IS NO BY PASS IN GEAR BOX OR RACK , WITH ENGINE OFF THEY WILL OVER FLOW. ONLY FORD SORRY TO SAY YOU FIX IT BUT IS ALL THE SAME ..

Yes, this is a problem. The clear power steering fluid is a mineral oil base and the red Lucas additive is petroleum base. Your car uses the red petroleum base, which is actually Dexron ATF (automatic transmission fluid). Lucas is great stuff, the person at the parts store just doesn't know their stuff. You need to flush the system to save your pump from going out very prematurely.

usually a failing power steering pump, especially if groaning type noise. can be easily replaced, but must be bled out after replacement.

where is the leak coming from gear box or pump,if its the pump,replace whole pump

The whole power-steering assembly itself is the next thing to look at. I think it is defective, and could be replaced for a rebuilt one.

this system can be tested for codes, I would suggest you have the dealer do this test, all the parts are very expensive so guessing is not a good idea. most probale cause is a wheel motion sensor on the steering column.

1. Air could still be on your power steering system after you replaced your pump.
2. There could be another reason why your having a hard time turning your steering wheel, have your steering linkages, camber, alignment checked, so as to prevent breaking yor new pump again
thank you for choosing fixya!
