What is wrong if your power-steering is blowing back?
What could you possibly mean by blowing back?
Answer 2When you say blowing back, is the fluid in the reservoir airated? It could be that the pump is cavitating or you have a problem on the feed line from the reservoir to the pump if the reservoir is a remote one. Sounds like the pump requires attention.www.powerbrakeandsteering.co.za
Why do you have a grininding noise on your power steering on your Pontiac sunfire?
It sounds like your power steering fluid may be low. (you might have a leak) I'd check it and top it off if necessary. Keep an eye on it to see if it's leaking. If so, add some fluid with stop leak. I highly recommend Gold Eagle brand. It fixed a leak for me where nothing else would.

There is a plastic cap on the top of a steel tube on the back of the power steering pump. This plastic cap can be removed after giving it a 90 degree counter clockwise twist. There will be a dipstick attached to the cap that allows you to see if any fluid is required. If so, add the fluid in the steel tube where the cap was. Be careful not to overfill.

How do you remove the serpentine belt and power steering belt on a Toyota Echo 2000?
Replacing (or tightening) the main drive belt is very easy, you will need a 12mm socket wrench and a 14mm open end wrench. Loosen (do not remove) the two bolts above the alternator that are attached to the metal bracket that allow the alternator to slide (the alternator is attached to the topmost pulley that the drive belt touches, it is at the top front passenger side of the engine compartment). There is a 3rd bolt below the alternator, slightly difficult to see, loosen it using the 14mm wrench, it is often difficult to turn, I recommend penetrating oil and a breaker bar, you only need to turn it a little bit to allow the alternator to pivot. Once all three bolts are loose, you can easily rock the alternator back and forth (same procedure is used to tighten the drive belt). You want to push the alternator back to remove the belt. After installing a new belt (or to tighten an existing belt) you need to pull the alternator toward the front of the car as far as possible. The best way to do this is by putting a pry bar on top of and slightly behind the alternator and pushing up toward the windshield while using the engine as a pivot - this gives you plenty of leverage and allows you to pull the alternator forward. While you are prying, you can tighten the bolt that holds the alternator to the bracket using your left hand as you brace the pry bar with your right hand, to hold it all in place.
The power steering belt is much more difficult but there is an adjustment bolt there as well (I recommend you don't replace that belt unless you have to).

How do you replace the power steering pump in a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
first remove the serpentine belt there is a tension pulley that you will see located on the left side of the engine. loosen the nut on the tension pulley and you will be able to remove the belt. once the belt is removed you will see the power steering pump has a big pulley on the front with three holes located on it. align one of the holes on the pulley with each of the three bolts that hold the power steering pump to the power steering pump engine mount bracket
remove the hoses from the power steering pump one will unscrew off the top of the pump(the high pressure side) the low pressure side is a bit more tricky as it is very very very easily broken. either cut the line and replace it when you replace the pump or else try and remove the end that is not attached to the pump on the low pressure side if you can. I usually just trim off about an inch of the hose just before it attaches to the pump with a pair of cutters. be aware that when you do so that power steering fluid will go everywhere and have a can or something to catch it in and a rag to clean up what slops out.
after you get the pump off put the whole dripping thing in a bucket or some other oil resistant container and take it to the automotive store and swap it for the core charge on a new power steering pump and buy more power steering fluid, make sure that you have them swap out the belt pulley and put it on the new pump for you and that you take the dipstick/cap when you swap out the old pump one for the new one. once you get back, take off any factory caps (they are usually red) from the pump where the hoses attach. now attach the pump back to the engine mount bracket and reattach the serpentine belt then reattach the hoses and retension the belt pulley make sure that you put power steering fluid back into the pump and top it off. then fire up the engine and make sure that you twist the steering wheel all one way and then all the other way then kill the engine and top off the power steering fluid again.
also i would like to say that (the poorly made piece of cast aluminum between the pump and the engine) the power steering pump mount bracket is prone to cracking and or breaking leading to the serpentine belt coming off from the engine and leaving you with a broken power steering pump mount bracket and bolts broken off in the engine block (I had my own power steering mount bracket made out of good ole steel) to fix the problem :) have fun
Why do systems need to be replaced?
- Changes in the business environment in which a company operates and trades
- Changes in the company's main activities or in the nature of the company
- A company grows so much that it has to replace current system
- Increase in the productivity of an organisation
- To get to and maintain an advantage over their competition
- Changes in technology, with older systems being completely outdated
- Downsizing from centrelised to desentralised decision making and information systems
When running a business, it pays to keep pace with modern technologies, upgrading existing systems and replacing outdated technologies, for the simple reason that if you don't, your competitors will, and your business ultimately suffers!
What would cause a creaking noise while steering?
A few things to look at: bad struts, dry ball joints (can you grease 'em?) Check tie rod ends (grease?). How are the rubber bushings? Also, check power steering lines and pump (plenty of fluid?). Also, get a friend to bounce the car up and down while you or somebody moves the wheel around. Might take three people to do this. One bouncer, one steerer and one looker. Sounds like a party to me.
