My son is replacing the power steering pump in my 2005 kia sedona. is there a special type of power steering fluid needed and how much fluid will he need?

I don't think so but give an auto parts store or Kia to find out for sure.

2002 kia sedona rack and pinion leakes

Im assuming that you mean power steering fluid is leaking... top off the fluid, replace cap, and have a freind turn the steering wheel back and forth while you check the hoses and lines for leaking fluid.

Kia Sedona hard to turn (2006)

Hi
If your system has leaked fluid out when you've topped it back up it could have caused an airlock in the system this can usually be rectified by turning the steering wheel from lock to lock several times whilst the vehicle is stationary this usually pushes the air out but keep checking the fluid bottle as the level will drop whilst its getting rid of any air !
Hope this helps Nick

Wining noise on 2006 Kia Sedona, sounds like it is coming from around the power steering pump area. Noise doesn't really change with turning of the wheels though. Did they have probelms with anything...

The idle pulley is located right next to the power steering pump. Whining usually means the bearings are going out in that pulley.

My power steering on my 2007 KIA Sedona LX requires a lot of effort and is worse especially when driving out of a parking spot.

Try checking the fluid level in the power steering pump. It's the same as checking motor oil. There will be a dip stick somewhere near the serpentine belt. Check it while warm (engine at operating temperature). If it is low, refill it. If that does nothing. You may have burned up the pump and it would need to be replace. Thanks for asking.

This sounds like textbook steering rack failure. If the internal seals wear out the rack will leak fluid internally, causing the exact symptoms you're describing. These can be rebuilt, but it's hardly worth the effort. It's less headache and only slightly more expensive to replace it.

2003 kia sedona

I had the same thing (hard to turn, especially in cold temps, wouldn't return to straight.....). Since the power steering fluid was full, I decided it had to be "gunk" in the fluid, so I took my '03 Kia Sedona in to have the power steering fluid flushed & filled (over $100 I think!).

No better. So I took it to another mechanic and he said that the "U-Bolt" had frozen up. He changed it (part was $117 and labor was 2 hours, for a total cost of $350ish) and it's good as new now!

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2002 SEDONA. I HAVE HAD IT TO SEVERAL DEALERS AND ALL HAVE THE SAME ANSWER, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SO I JUST FORGET ABOUT IT. CHECK YOUR WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID, ENSURE IT IS FULL, TRANSMISSION FLUID, ENGINE OIL, BRAKE AND POWER FLUID, THE NORM. IF NONE OF THIS WORKS, DON'T SPEND ALOT WORRYING ABOUT IT.
