SYSTEM NOISE
There is some noise in all power
steering systems.
Common complaints are listed as
follows:
Pump noise-“chirp” .
Loose belt.
Adjust belt tension to specification.
Belt squeal.
Loose belt.
Adjust belt tension to specification.
Gear noise ( “ hissing” sound)
There is some noise in all power steer
ing systems. One of the most common
is a hissing sound most evident at
standstill parking. There is no relation
ship between this noise and perfor
mance of the steering. “ Hiss” may be
expected when steering wheel is at end
of travel or when slowly turning at
standstill.
Do not replace valve unless “ hiss” is
extremely objectionable. Slight “ hiss”
is normal and in no way affects steer
ing. A replacement valve will also exhi
bit slight noise and is not always a cure
for the objection. Investigate clearance
around flexible coupling rivets. Be
sure steering shaft arid gear are aligned
so flexible coupling rotates in a flat
plane and is not distorted as shaft ro
tates. Any metal-to-metal contacts
through flexible coupling will transmit
“hiss" into passenger compartment.
Rattle.
Pressure hose touching other parts of
car.
Loose pump pulley nut
Pump vanes not installed properly.
Pump vanes sticking in rotor slots.
Adjust hose position.
Replace nut, torque to specs.
Install properly.
Free up by removing burrs, varnish or
dirt.
Gear noise (rattle or chuckle).
Improper over-center adjustment
NOTE: A slight rattle may occur on
turns because of increased clearance
off the “ high point” . This is normal
and clearance must not be reduced
below specified limits to eliminate this
slight rattle.
Loose pitman arm.
Gear loose on frame.
Adjust to specifications.
Tighten to specifications
Check gear-to-frame mounting bolts.
Tighten bolts to 70 foot-pounds.
Rattle or chuckle.
Steering linkage looseness.
Check linkage pivot points for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Groan.
Low oil level.
Fill reservoir to proper level.
Groan.
Air in the oil. Poor pressure hose
connection.
Bleed system by operating steering
from right to left
full turn.
Check connections, torque to specs.
Growl.
Excessive back pressure caused by
hoses or steering gear, (restriction)
Locate restriction and correct. Replace
part if necessary.
