First thing to do is check your Power Steering fluid level. If it is full, and that does not fix your problems, check all of your power steering lines and make sure there are no kinked/pinched lines. If none of this fixes it then you should have it looked at by your local mechanic. If none of the above strategies fix it, then there is a slight chance that your Pwr Steering pump is bad.

What could make the steering wheel of my Honda Accord 91 make a squeaking noise and become very tight and hard to turn?

it sounds to be as if your power steering pump is out or low on fluid.


If your 96 Nissan won't start and when you turn the key there is a rapid clicking noise in the engine-How can you tell if it's the starter or a switch?

The clicking noise is most likely relay chatter. If you turn the key and hear a clicking noise and the engine does not crank, this usually a sign of a low battery (or a short). Check the battery first. If the battery is good there may be a short in the electrical system. Start with the ignition switch. Remove the four screws on the bottom of the steering column. Then lift off the top half of the steering column. Inspect the wiring and try to tighten any loose connections. Make sure the pos. & neg. battery leads are in good order (especially the neg. lead.)

Why does my 1992 Toyota Camry XLE power steering pump still make noise after i have replaced it and bled it several times noise seems to be coming from hydraulic fan side of pump.?

Maybe you used the wrong pump? There are two different kinds of power steering pumps made for 1992 Toyota Camry's. Ones for Camrys manufactured 03/1992 and before, and ones for camrys manufactured from 04/1992-1996. You can check when your car was made by looking on the inside of the driver side door jamb.


Why would a car make a somewhat loud 'clunk' noise when accelerating from a stop?

if the car is rear wheel drive, sounds like a u-joint. If it is front wheel drive, sounds like a cv joint. It could also be your engine mounts wearing out. If the rubber insulation has worn out then the engine will shift slightly against the mount and make a clunking noise. This happened on my 96 Nissan Quest minivan.
