guys,

got a nice high pitched, fast, repititive, chirp seems to come directly from power steering pump.

been checking it out online and find a lot of posts say flushing will fix it, a lot seem to think its the belt.

seems come directly from the pump.

Fluid in there does pretty much look like mud..

 

I'm much more inclined to just replace. seems like any noises from pumps like this indicated its just a matter of time..

 

Come to find out there's about 4 different options for types of pumps. what's the best way to tell?

 

any personal accounts or recommendations???

 

Thanks!

You're going to have to flush the PS system when you put a new pump on it. Might as well flush it now, and see what happens. If the flush fixes the chirp, you've got time before you have to figure out which of the four pump possibilities it may be.

 

Me? I'd get a squirt bottle of water, spray the belt, and see if the chirp goes away.
