Dunno dude. Get underneath and give a good clean to try and find any leaks.

You mean to say even with the new pump, it's still making a racket like mine?

I guess i got lucky, i got a pump off a wreck and threw it on, luckily, so far it seems to be a good one. Nice and quiet.

Did you bleed your system out thoroughly after installing the new pump? It will make noise if there is still air in the system.

yea and it spews out still just like in your vid, maybe I didnt bled it right. what was your procedure?

[Dodgeyaussie]

Was it a brand new pump?

I bled it by topping the reservoir up, starting the car and letting it run for a minute or so, then top the fluid up again, then get in the car and turn the wheel lock to lock a couple of times, check fluid and repeat until you no longer get air bubbles coming up into the reservoir, and all is quiet.

yes, ok I rebled it and the bubles are gone its not leaking anymore but I have no power steering. Wtf? The belt is kinda old could this be it? Or is my racked screwed? How can I tell if the rack is bad?thanks
