Power Steering Whine, Stiffness

Same issue, guess I'm buying a pump soon.

How much do they cost?

260 plus a core charge from dealer, at least thats what i paid in PA during Havoc.

Another option: stay off the pavement and use the skinny pedal to steer

Replaced the PS pump and fluid- it's smooth, easy and perfect again. Time to try to find something else to break!

thanks for the help...

$260 doesn't seem bad at all. What does a typical dealer charge to install, you know if you are ever denied or out of warranty?

Do any 3rd party companies repair/replace power steering pumps? I'd go to the dealer but I'm pretty sure they'll give me a hard time because of my mods.

The worst that they can do is say NO, what can it hurt. I'd say most mechanics could do it afterall, we did it Sat morning during Havoc at our campsite, <2hrs tops. just drop the skid and there she is. Back on the track sawing the wheel. And we are far from ASE Certified.(not sure of book time) Pumps are warranteed to 1yr after purchase from dealer. Dont quote me..

My power steering was whining and the reservoir was low when I then checked it. Added a few ounces to bring it back up to level and it's still whining intermittently. Sounds like mine is going out as well - 2012 @ 37k miles. I wonder if I can back a service manager in the corner on this, since I'm 1000 miles past warranty?

Let me know when you make an appointment at your dealer, cwickd. I'll escalate you up to the customer service manager for your region; they'll see what they can do to help. To get the ball rolling, PM me your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership.
