Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and parts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Disconnect the battery to avoid electrical issues.
2. Inspect Power Steering Fluid
  • Locate the power steering fluid reservoir.
  • Check fluid level; if low, top off with the manufacturer-recommended fluid type.
  • If fluid is dirty or has a burnt smell, consider replacing it.
3. Check for Leaks
  • Visually inspect the power steering pump and hoses for any signs of fluid leaks.
  • If leaks are found, replace the damaged hoses or pump as necessary.
4. Examine Steering Components
  • Raise the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure with jack stands.
  • Inspect the steering rack and tie rod ends for any visible wear or damage.
  • Replace any worn components following manufacturer specifications.
5. Inspect Wheel Bearings
  • Spin the front wheels by hand to listen for noise or roughness.
  • If noise is present, remove the wheel and inspect the wheel bearings.
  • Replace any worn or damaged wheel bearings using appropriate tools and torque specifications.
6. Test Power Steering Pump
  • Reconnect the battery.
  • Start the vehicle and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock.
  • Listen for any abnormal noises; if present, replace the power steering pump.
