power steering

2010 Explorer v8 power steering rack is leaking and appears to need replacement. It seems there is no new motorcraft replacement parts only remans even from dealer. Mavel has new on Rock Auto but, I'm not sure about that brand, I've seen people post about it. I was hoping someone could point me...

Replaced my sway bar end links the other day and eagerly took the explorer for a ride around to test them out. Neglected to see I was out of gas so the engine died on the way back home- had to ride it downhill for a quarter mile or so with no power steering to get to a safe spot to pull over and...

2002 Mercury Mountaineer 4.6 2wd, 210,000 miles. I had a leaky power steering system and worn out front suspension parts. I bought a remanufactured Detroit Axle rack and pinion (R/P), new P/S pump, ball joints, tie rods, shocks and upper and lower control arms. Life was good! After 3 months the...

Hey all, slowly but surely fixing up on my explorer. Put a new transmission in about 2 months ago, but now the power steering pump is whining. I know the pumps are known for going bad and whining. Does anyone know a good brand that won’t do this for awhile? Thanks, Gavin

I ran across the other day that 2008-2010 power stroke ford pickups use a c3 ps pump similar to the 4.0/5.0 explorers, but with slightly higher pressure and more flow. According to cardone, at idle the PSD pump outs out 1.4-1.6 gpm idle, 1675 max psi and 1875 psi relief pressure. The 4.0 pump...

I recently replaced the power steering rack in my 2003 explorer sport Trac. I followed the steps in the shop manual but some things werent so obvious. 1. The steering shaft coupler bolt is reusable, it's a regular grade 10.9 bolt. 2. The rack mounting bushings won't let the rack slide through...

Hey yall! I have a 2013 Explorer 3.5NA with 192,000 miles. Every morning when I start it up cold I get the check charging system indicator on the dash. Sometimes if I sit there in the driveway for a few minutes it will go away after working the wheel back and forth. Possibly just a coincidence...

Ughhh. I know it's old but can't afford anything else right now. My 1999 ford explorer has gone from 1 thing to the next past 3 weeks. Can someone help so at least i know what I'm looking to do? Been ripped off too many times. First, it kept dying and random starting. I replaced the battery and...

Hey y’all, I recently received a truck so I’ve decided to sell my 2000 Explorer. Before I sell it, I’d like to fix some glaring issues with it. First, I’m another victim of the dreaded power steering whining sound. I’m not sure if it could be remedied by merely replacing the pump or not. It...

Help! :D I poured some windshield wiper fluid into the power steering fluid reservoir, then I started the engine. It's all pinkish and milky now. >.< I used a turkey baster to suck out all of the fluid inside of the reservoir. Then, I disconnected the lower cooler hose and let it drain...

I have a 2002 Sport Track 4x4 with a V6 engine. Periodically, while maneuvering in parking lots or other low speed situations, I feel a shudder in the steering wheel, and a drop in engine speed. Does anyone know what's failing here? Thanks, Lonnie

2017 Explorer Sport, 4 months old with 11,000kms (6,600miles). Lately, I've noticed a bit of noise from what I presume is the power steering system. I hear a bit of noise while stopped or at low speed and turning the steering wheel. I haven't noticed this before and is this normal or should I...

Hello everyone- I have a problem I am hoping you can help with. My 2008 2wd 4.0l XLT is having a strange power steering issue. When I start the truck and back out of my driveway it feels like I have no power steering. Within about ten seconds of putting the truck in reverse the "check charging...

Okay... this is hard to explain, but here goes: This is most noticeable when I am parking in a spot... Say I am turning the steering wheel to the RIGHT to make a 90 degree turn and pull into a parking spot... at a certain point, the steering wheel gets tighter and sort of "turns itself" the...

Recently replaced my PS Gearbox because there was play in the gearbox and also it was leaking from the gearbox and I was tired of refilling my PS fluid. 2 questions resulted from this... 1. After replacing, the steering wheel is slightly ****ed to the left now. How is this possible? There is...

Hello All, I have a 2003 4.6L Explorer and I have a power steering leak. I am pretty sure it is coming from a hose and I think this is the exact replacement I need from Advance Auto...

I can do things to make my car stall at demand! For example, if I turn on the engine, switch into gear, and then press on the knob to deactivate AC (with climate control all the way on HOT), the car will stall almost always. I also noticed it stalled a few times pressing on the brakes...

Hey guys! My stock PS Pressure Line was spraying fluid all over the place... so naturally, I got a new one and replaced it. The new one has been working fine for about a week now... but it just developed another leak! Luckily, this leak isn't from a tear in the rubber hose... it's actually...

Idk What's wrong now, when I turn left around corners it wants to turn right and vis a versa, pulls alittle going straight down road....wth could it be? Bearings seem good, just started happening...

I recently bought this 2003 explorer XLT 4x4 with the V8 4.6L. I thought the steering was a little stiff. Driving to work this morning I lost the power steering. When I am driving it is fine but when I am turning from a stop it will not work. If I am parked and give it some gas it will work...

The high pressure hose went out. I haven't replaced it yet but now it doesn't make the whining noise any more and the steering is hard. Will this effect the steering gear box soon or no? Oh yeah, 1996 ranger with a 4 banger.

Hello,first off I did search, nothing that is similar to my situation. When turning sharply the engine acts like it is going to stall. I recently changed my power sterring pump (which continued to wine). after which I noticed my rpms were high about 1100-1000. I did the test for a high idle...

Ok Im a little baffled at the power steering issue I have going on. I own a 04 Explorer EB 4.0 V6. About 2 weeks ago I noticed its feels like the power steering is starting to go out. If I turn the wheel slightly to the left or right it almost feels like its starting to whine/squeal but it still...

Hello all I have a few questions about my power steering, and then some about the lift kits discussed. I spent a few minutes searching around to try and make sure that I am not repeating questions, however if you find them asked already please link them to me an accept my apologies in advance...

I have a 2011 XLT, I have noticed the steering feeling like it has a mind of its own sometimes.. Example: I can drive straight and it feels as if I am riding in rain and I sometimes have to grab the wheel to make sure I'm not losing traction for a split second and I regain control.. Never had...

My power steering on my 02 eddie bauer EX is hard to turn to the right sometimes. It is spotty, it will turn to the right smooth sometimes and have moments when the roughness is spotty. Turning to the left is fine. Check the power steering fluid, it was low, so i have filled it and the...

OK, I got an unusual problem and have gone through the basics and then some. . . 2004 Explorer 4.6 V8 AWD Symptoms: 1) Battery DOES NOT hold a charge when engine is running 2) Battery DOES hold a charge if vehicle left alone for a week or two. 3) Battery idiot light comes on when...

Ok so i bought a replacement ps pump for my 95 explorer ohv. In the box with the pump (it was the one with reservoir all attached) was the pulley installation tool and a bunch of O rings. In the instructions it says nothing about what to do with them. It does have one packet of them though...

I have a 1995 ford explorer and the power steering whines when turning/applying gas simultaneously. It also doesnt work when at idle unless i give it just enough gas to jump a few hundred rpm's and its still hard to turn. The belt is good and it is not slipping. I just got this vehicle and when...

So I'm changing my power steering pressure hose on my 98 sport explorer 4L SOHC, access to the bottom fitting is fine, plenty of room, the top fitting from the pump itself is giving my quite a bit of grief. I have taken my throttle body, belt, and pump pully off off to make space for a wrench on...

Has anyone had a power steering assist fault code show up? It has happened to me about a dozen times and you have no power steering when it does. Most of the time it can be killed and re-started and it will reset, but today it will not reset and I'm 2 hours from home having to man-handle it...

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum but I need some major help!! My 1997 Explorer used to drive great! But I think I may have hurt something off road. (I fell in a hole with it). Although nothing at the time seemed to show signs of a problem, now a few days later I have numerous problems. 1. The...

I heard a funny noise come from my truck as i moved it behind my job so i can leave it warming up... The sound quickly stopped but later on I noticed my steering was rough. It feels as if the power steering still working but as you move it left or right its get stiff then loose again... I know...
