Power Steering

I ASSUME that would be ( type " F " automatic transmission fluid ) like the

1992 Ford EXPLORER uses as the power steering fluid

You can bypass the power steering pump pulley in your 1993 Buick regal 3.8 liter engine. Measure the distance around the other pulleys, without the power steering pump pulley. Take the measurement to your local auto-parts stores and ask for a belt of that measurement.

Check the belt tension. If that's okay, check for binding in the hoses. At this point, it has plenty of fluid, the belt is tight, and the hoses look good. Now jack up the front of the car, remembering to set the parking brake and chock the rear tires. Look at your suspension for a seized tie rod, ball joint, or a bent steering rack. No problems? Look at the front tire tread. Any unusual wear pattern? Have the front end aligned, and your problem should be solved.

there is a fuse under the hood for "fuel ingtion system" # 20 amp change that im searching why my car keeps blowing the same fuse

If your car is equiped with power steering, the reservior is located in the engine bay on the drivers side. It is attached to the engine where the belts run.

Any auto parts store will have power steering fluid on the shelf.. You can also pull it up on the internet or ask the parts counter person to look it up for you.

Check to see where leak originates could be: Leaking pump seal Leaking high or low pressure hose Could be steering rack

According to the 1998 Ford E-150 Owner Guide :

( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used as the power

steering fluid )

dentist drills, dump trucks, other construction vehicles

Right on top of the pump. It looks like a European style cartriage oil filter container. But its actually the fluid reservoir. Choosing the right fluid is the tricky part.

Changing power steering fluid lines in your vehicle should not affect alignment.

Basically.................price!!! It's safe to use Trans Fluid for Power Steering Fluid, they are both hydraulic oil/fluids.........but make sure to check your owners manual.

Where is the power steering resevoir on a 2005 pontiac grand prix?

In the power steering pump located on the front right side of the engine. It will have a pulley on it

As you are faceing the engine from the front of the car it is on the right hand side just in front of the alternator, and to th right of the windshield washer resivor.

The pump is on the back of the engine, hard to see and to get too. Stand by the passenger side of the car and look at the back of the engine and you will see it, just follow the path of the belt.

Make sure the reservoir is full of P/S fluid. Start the engine and using the line wrench, break the high-pressure line loose at the steering gear. If you are not sure which line is the high side, look at the power steering pump. The highest line that is held in by a flare nut is the high-pressure line. The lowest line is held in with a hose clamp and is the return line or low-pressure line. Run the engine and slowly open the high pressure fitting on the steering gear just until the fluid starts running out. Stop there and hold it open until nothing but fluid is coming out. Tighten the fitting. Now start the engine and turn the steering wheel as far to the right as you can and then turn it as far to the left as you can. Do this about 5 times. This should remove any air left in the system.

atpump one line should be a threaded male ferrule connection ( pressure outlet ) your pump should have a matching female threaded hole in it the other line is just aslip on type hose with clamp their should be a nipple on the pump this slips onto with clamp to secure it ( this is lo pressire or retun, suction for pump the other end connect to the rack and pinion steering unit ( usually on firewall behind engine connection points are usually on drivers side of rack (look through opening in fender well behind drivers side front wheel should be able to see them there access to them is a real bear but canbe reached (18 mm wrench) on my sons 94 top line on rack was return line bottom was pressure outlet . hope this helps

-It leaks, but replacing the shaft seal hasn't helped.

-It fails to produce sufficient pressure.

-The shaft is bent.

-It makes excessive noise as from a bad bearing.

-It has been used with contaminated power steering fluid.

It will cost you about $100 to replace a steering box in 2006 Impala.

A person adds power steering fluid to the reservoir under the car hood. It is added with a small clean funnel

I have a 1990 3.0 I don't know if it is the same engine and if it has the same layout as mine but I hope that it helps you. First take belt off a/c. Then take the serpentine belt off. Pull off alternator, a/c compressor and bracket. Take lines off power steering pump. Catch fluid in pan and discard at a place that takes it for disposal. Then take the " L " shape bracket off the back of the power steering pump. Take the two bolts off the front of it. Let it set for right now. Take the belt tensioners for the serpentine belt and the a/c off. Next support the engine with a jack. Now take all the bolts out for the motor mount going into the engine. Then take the two bolts out on the frame rail. Pull on the motor mount towards the frame rail. Move to the side. If you can pull the pulley off the power steering pump where it is setting. You can pull the pump up through the top. If not (like I couldn't) take the pump and turn it so the dipstick hole is pointing down and kind of like behind the crankshaft pulley and the pulley for the pump is in front of it. Push it down to wedge it in place. Then grab the motor and pull it to the front of the car. Pull hard. the pump should fall out. Take pulley off and anything that as to go on the new pump. But leave the pulley off. Put the pump in from the top side. Then put the pulley on the pump. Then reinstall everything. That is how I remove and install my pump.

Its on the firewall side of the engine, passenger side. Should be under the tower strut brace about 6-8 inches.

The 1995 Escort did not have power steering.
