  1. Make sure the banjo bolt on the high pressure side of PS pump is in alignment to flow with the high pressure line to the rack. This caused the symptoms of air in lines as well as pump seals to break. Simple thing to overlook by any tech, shop, or dealership. If you flush the system properly and have no leaks but still have whine, trouble rotating the wheel, or any other symptom.. make sure the banjo bolt is torqued to allow flow of fluid to the rack. hopefully this post will help someone.. couldn't find any info anywhere that includes this step to the replacement of a PS pump.
  2. Just want to post a recent issue with the power steering system after the replacement of a pump. Recently replaced PS pump with a new unit. The system was flushed, properly bled of air, and still persisted to whine and make noise whenever the wheel was turned. No leaks persisted. ONE THING was over looked and wasn't mentioned in any other posts on many forums, videos, etc... The high pressure banjo bolt must be in alignment with the high pressure outlet line. This will cause symptoms similar to air in lines or cause pump failure. This small detail can be overlooked by many shops, techs, or dealerships. IF you are having trouble even after replacing a pump or flushing fluid... CHECK THE BANJO BOLT! Make sure it is torqued down in a way that doesnt inhibit flow to the rack... Cheers!
