Power steering went. Out a year ago and I replaced pump,gearbox,and hoses.now power steering was coming in and out just replaced the pump.now have no power steering at all.where else should I look?
Make sure the serpentine belt is tight. If it is you may have gotten a bad pump

The problem is your intermediate steering shaft. It runs from the bottom of your steering column to the steering gearbox. While you are in the shop, though, now may be a good time to replace both the steering gear box and pump as a precautionary maintenance measure. It truly isn't necessary if you aren't having issues, but sometimes replacing one old part will open up the blinds to see another worn out part that needs replaced. It's cheaper to have the mechanic replace them while they have everything apart, than to have them take it apart on 3 separate occasions.

if you have a leak from the back of the rack your sector shaft seal is defective. to replace it you need to remove the rack and do it on the bench.remove the locking nut and pull the seal from inside.if you are a rooky replace the rack with a rebuild one. good luck.

Dear bigwood_84, Sat 02-21-2009 12:46pm EST (USA)
Try a can of "Bars' Leak" for power steering leaks 1st available at your local auto parts store. It's cheap and can't hurt but may fix your problem!
Advanced Auto Parts has a tool lending policy and a lot of good advice!

That is the power steering COOLER. It is a radiator just smaller for the power steering fluid the other one is for the transmission and the one on the right is for the AC
