Hi everyone, I was Googling power steering problems and I came across this forum.. and was hoping I can get some advice from someone on here. I have a 2004 Subaru Legacy, and we have gone through three power steering pumps in less than a year. The first being factory of course. I know they were all put in accurately this last one was put in less than a year ago and it's already causing problems. my dad checked it out, noticed there was the froth after awhile and it's doing all the typical signs-loud noises, the squealing, extremely hard power steering, etc. does anybody have any recommendations as to what's causing the pumps to go out so fast? I can't believe we're just really unlucky to have gotten two bad power steering pumps I'm assuming it might be something else! Any advice would be very much appreciated. Our Subaru is well-loved and well taken care of. Always had regular maintenance, etc. Not ready to let it go!! Thank you in advance-Cassie P.S. I am brand-new to this forum, so I hope I'm posting correctly! If not please be kind and direct me in the correct ways I should post
