Can anyone tell me if they have ever had a power steering pump tick intermittently. Sometimes on full lock sometimes in straight ahead pos.
I fitted a supposedly good one from a 92 disco on sat and it was clicking but went away, now my son says its louder and worse. His prev pump had a worn shaft and u could see the pullies move under load, so I replaced it with a working one from a wreck and that growled its head off and had gotton worse andl leaked fluid everywhere when he stopped, and now this one clicking.
I thought it might be some sort of check ball/valve in the high pressure side but as it went away by the time he had left I thought it may have just been some air.
I did bleed the box and there was some air in it.
he now tells me (sunday) that the clicking has returned with a vengence and it is dependent on the motor revs.
I am witing for him to come over so I can see/ hear if it is the same clicking or something poss hitting the pullies.
I cant see anything to stuff up by removing the bracket from one and putting it on the other.
the only sucsess I have had was the growlng and leak have gone but am now faced with another bloody noise.
Any clues as these pumps are like rocking horse.... to find
Thanks
