I love these small lessons from from 1A Auto. How do you diagnose a hard electric steering turning left and allowing the car to warn up the steering wheel gets really stiff?
After driving a while it's free again, should the car stand still for about five mins in traffic the steering gets stiff.
Check the reservoir return port, GM has a screen on them and they plug. So take it off and blow it out or replace it before you go for a pump. It causes a wine and loss or power and acts like a failed pump. Don't forget to bleed the system afterwards to get the air out before you call it a failure.
+Robert Hodges Thanks for the feedback!
Witch one is the return port?
I have a 2004 Chevy silverado 2500 HD. It has 65,859 miles on it. My gear box was replaced about a year ago. Recently, my pump was leaking so it was replaced. After it was replaced about a day or two later my steering wheel is not whinning, but it growls when I am idle ans turn left. Nothing when I go right. If I am in park and I turn the steering wheel the noise is very faint or sounds more normal. My wheel bearings,ball joints and control arms were replaced within the last month as well.
Steering wheel does seem more stiff turning left while turning right is smooth and easy. Thoughts!?
Ok I need some help. I have a leak in my power steering somewhere. I put fluid in my reservoir & noticed it leaking out & as I attempted to turn my stiff wheel.What do I need to do to fix it before having to replace the whole rack & pinion? Thanks for your help
do you have a tutorial vid for the power steering fluid and repairs on a 2005 Chevy Impala?
It's probably my pump, I repaired a leaking fluid line, afterwards my power steering got tight at idle, it turns fine above 3000 rpms. I flushed the fluid and have no leaks and no noise when I try to turn the steering wheel so I'll assume the pump has gone bad.
My 2008 Cadillac dts is doing that. Took it to my mechanic and he said he fixed it. I’m having the same problem again
Hi I hot my rack of opinion done a few days later my streering wheel feel heaving tight & when I make a left turn streering wheel jerk what could be the problem help🥺
I have an 05 Chevy trailblazer and I changed my power steering pump and it it still hard to steer what could be a wrong I was told it could be my rack and pinion please help
Oof the p/s pump on those 3.6’s is a pain in the butt especially with the AWD ones
Power steering is not smooth. Can it be the pump or the rack?
How many miles on it.
Could a seizing power steering pulley bearing cause an alternator (driven off the same belt) to provide inadequate voltage to the vehicle electricals? My lights are flickering and I know that my power steering is seizing up.
You sure belt wasn't loose
That's sure more complex than my older cars.
What car is that?
We're trying to find the issue with my cousin's f150. The steering wheel is hard to turn at idle, but as soon as you move it forward/reverse, it works. Also the liquid in the reservoir is milky white. Any ideas?
did u fix it ?
If you have power steering to one side only...its more likely th gear box. GMC 04 DENALI
What about electric power steering
I have a question. My car's steering wheel is making a low growling/screeching noise when i turn to the left and the car is idle and i also hear a slight whinning sound when the hood of my car is up and engine turned on could this be a sign that my power steering pump is going bad?
Did u figure out what that problem was. Cause I’m having the same issue
Check the tie rods in and out
My 2004 Yukon Denali xl turns right fine, but there's no power steering when turning left unless I'm stepping on the gas. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
*following*
Same issue in my 2000 silverado.. I think it's gonna be the pump..
Same issue on my 2003 chevrolet silverado
Thats just of many of a common problem with most of GM vehicles after they've reached a several thousand miles.
I know this because I am a GM only kind of person. I have already owned in the past most of the many different types of a GM made
vehicle's, and previously I proudly own another one of a GM SUV.
I’ve never had so many issues with my front end and steering components until i bought an 03 GMC Sierra 2500HD. It’s currently in the shop now due to a bad power steering pulley, after already replacing tie rods, pitman arm, steering box to rid the crazy slop. Hoping this is the last issue for a long while, the Duramax motor and tranny have been great
I have 05 trailblazer, changed the water pump and it ran perfectly for 2 days.
Then the power steering went out.
No whining or leaks.
Need a little help.

hi is possible to ask questions?
+Maliha Orfani Hello, What question do you have?
My car has electric steering that was having major issues. Fortunally gm fixed it for me for free
What did they have to do? I have my 2015 in the shop right now.
I replaced my steering pump and my left turn is still stiff
Check your left hose it’s probably blocked or cut and check that everything is clean
Hmmm
My advice try to flush the system 1st because I got same vehicle same issue and I flushed the power steering system and was working fine after that thank you.
I just use trans fluid lol
