If its like a repeater rifle going off, it often happens when the reservoir is filled with the engine running or the fluid level is very low; air gets into the pump and rack. Check fluid level then with the engine running turn wheels fully left, hold, then fully right and hold. Go for a drive hopefully the noise has stopped.
Most common cause is low fluid, or the pump could be wearing out
how do I bleed my power steering pete thank you
yes
Low power steering fluid or defective power steering pump.
I am trying to find out the vacum hoses that lead from the power steering pump on my Toyota tacoma 4x4 2.7
* No power steering fluid in reservoir * The power steering pump is not operating
the most likely cause of that would be the power steering pump failing.
cause your power steering pump has died... try hit it with a hammer :)
Loose belt? Low fluid? Bad pump?
Dexron II or III ATF as outlined in the manual
The power steering on a vehicle can be jammed due to a rack and pinion issue in the steering column. Another possible cause could be that the power steering fluid may be low and the power steering pump may be going out.
no because power steering is a hydrollic assist system
