most likely are lots of threads on this but need some help urgently please!
On a 2007 subaru liberty spec b 3.0
so for a while the power steering has been making a very strong whine, even when not turning the wheel it would still make this constant whine, wasn't so much hard to turn it just had the annoying noise everytime i did.
so i ordered a pump off the net for around $200, pulled out of another subaru, put it in and it was worst
ordered a rebuid kit from steering-rebuilds-australia on eBay, took the pump apart and put it in. now the problem, the whine is gone, but the pump is not going
i thought i bled it all properly, jacking it up and turning the wheel to a full lock each way slowly , repeatedly but it never improved
the steering has gone very stiff, asif the power steering is gone completely
anyone have any suggestions on what to do? plan on seeing a mechanic soon but its hard cause of work.
thankyou
