terryk2003 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 power steering pump, hoses, rack!?... ...could be lots of things... Quote
KING JOKER Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 the pump was not leaking anywhere but i think it might be the hose.... is this a hard part to replace? Quote
terryk2003 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 well, there's 2 hoses...one is pressure, the other one is a return line...you'll have to figure out which it is...i'm not sure how hard it is to replace on a w...i've never had to replace one...yet... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 I have a similar problem in the 92. I hear the pump doing its thing, but nothing happens.... no power steering. The car has several leaks, i assume this may be one of them? Sometimes, the power steering comes in and out. Quote
joberlee Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 The lines aren't too hard to get at on most of the w-bodys. What year make model engine trans is it? Quote
KING JOKER Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 it is a 92 cutlass supreme coupe with a 3.1 auto Quote
joberlee Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 If you look at the back of the power steering pump you can see that 2 lines. They follow the engine block down and go right to the rack and pinion. If it's leaking a lot I would suspect the high pressure line, if it's just kind of dribbling out, as opposed to spraying out, I would look at the low pressure return line. Be careful when you are working on the pump. The reservior is plastic and I have broken the return line fitting off on one before. Joe Quote
