Scotty Kilmer so i had my power steering pump replaced because of a high piched whining..1 month later it is now whining when it wants to but the tone of the noise is much deeper. The mechanic says it will do it again if he replaces it which is obviously an argument for him to get out of doing it. Could there be another reason why i would hear the noise. Oh and yes it is full of fluid and its a 2007 ford focus
Hey Scotty
I'm so sick and tired of shop and street mechanics fixing one thing and making sure another thing is messed up.
I enjoy your fix it yourself videos.
Just very scared that I might mess something up. I need to fix my power steering leak ASAP myself, Can you sugjest a way for me to get over being frightned to repair my own car?😔
A dildo made from recycled Toyotas
Will that switch throw a code on the dash my car is making as noise when I turn idle or in motion and it’s getting worse now my cars idle rpms are fluctuating from .5 - 1.5
I've been watching your videos for a long time I have a whining noise in the steering wheel in my truck the power steering fluid is full there is no leak what could it be
Scotty my son is taking mechanics at the career and technology center at his high school and we absolutely love your videos! He won’t say it but I think he’s impressed when his mama knows a thing or two about cars which I’ve mainly learned from your TH-cam videos! Right now he has a 2005 z71 Tahoe I got him for his 16th birthday that started making a sound when turning at low speeds. I told him to check his power steering fluid and that was the problem :) we’ve also repaired the antenna, the gauge cluster dimmer switch, oil changes, and the fog light button that was broken all DIY
Shut up
You're one of the best video tutorial mechanics on youtube, you make what sometimes is miserable and annoying into a easy task which can easily be accomplished!
the diagnostic know-how and deeper understanding of what's actually going on that he conveys here is great.
Hi Scotty! I don't know much about cars, and I actually just stumbled on your channel as I was looking how to replace a radiator. I found your video, and I really enjoyed it! I have been looking through all of your other videos and I think you are awesome! Not only have I learned a ton, but I really like the way you narrate the videos. Your voice really flows! You'd be a good voice over actor! No joke...thanks again!
I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION HOW AND WHAT IS REPAIRING A LEAKING RACK/PINION,,,,I WAS VERY SURPRISE TO LEARN HOW EASY IT IS TO GET TAKEN BY A GARAGE....YOUR INFORMATION HAS BEEN INVALUABLE SOURCE OF KNOWLEGE...THANK YOU..G.B.
Scotty, great camera angles. You do a really good job of showing what you're working on. Always easy to see. Plus you edit out the in-between stuff that's unnecessary and boring.
I've watched many do it your self videos on automotive fixes and Scotty Kilmer is the absolute best!
Scotty thanks for your videos & helpful car repair advice! My power steering noise went away & my car drives so much better👍
You're videos are very helpful, keep em coming.
Thanks, Scotty! You are my go-to guy. I wish it was that simple and easy to do myself.
Watching your videos alone gave me a lot of guts and confidence; that I could truly fix my used car prior the temporary registration ends. Thanks to your very educating videos. Saves me money :)
Scotty Kilmer. you do a great job of getting the point and hitting the main points. well done sir.
Man. I think you just fixed my life. I can't wait to try this.
Love these videos Your straight to the point
As always, THANK YOU Scotty for your great video!
Hey mister! You're my Sensei. Excellent video as usual. I have a 2006 Honda accord V6 that is a poem in 4 wheels but recently detected a noise on the fluid reservoir so I guess some fluid got to be added. Hope this will be the whole thing. Scotty, your videos are sensational, I enjoy all of them but above all of this, they are absolutely helpful. Thank you so much for your help. Dear Sensei, I bow before you and send you my best wishes from Mexico.
Is Scotty the only mechanic that doesn't get dirty when working on a vehicle?
He has a video about him always using gloves when working on cars and I noticed he always has a tarp on the floor where he needs to lay down. Also he’s been doing this so long so I’m sure he knows all the tricks. Ill even wear gloves and have a tarp on the floor to lay on under the car while emerged in bleach and I’ll still come out look like a grease monkey. Haha
He's God tier that's why lol. Grease fears him
Yeah, and he also is the only mechanic show you how do something in less than 3 minutes, and you spend the day watching the video again and again and again and again, to do what he did in those 3 minutes, in that whole day... He's unreal
Plot twist: He has a Nascar team behind the scenes.
Yes
Drink some moonshine, then go for a test drive !
If the sound persists, then drink more moonshine !
Drivin' drunker than a Lohan
Sippin' rum and Coke and
Pissin' in a Coke can
Speedometer's broken
Sippin' on Bacardi
Winnin' like I'm Charlie
Listenin' to Marley
Watchin' some iCarly
Could've taked the bus
And gone safely off
Could've stayed at home and taken drugs and raped a slut
But I'm drivin' drunk
With hoes in the trunk
And if I see Trayvon I'm driving him home
MrSupercar55 "could've raped a slut" didn't rhyme with any of that.
yeah, given the correct amount of moonshine, even if the car refuses to go you won't care.
Fireball Whiskey works well too.
😹😹😹😹
great job man I'm always watching your videos. good luck to you
thanks for all your wisdom and time to make this video, you saved me alot of money and im able to make it to work now
0:24 the 1uz, love that engine. Probably the most bulletproof v8 ever made!
Couldn't agree more
2uz with 1uz connecting rods is a presidential bunker.
I got the 2uz
old smokey moonshine! Went there for vacation! Best stuff around
No matter the car or issue I have scotty is the man who gives me the answers. I have a 08 escape and the power steering Reservoir is sealed.
I have referred to this man's videos for years, getting car repair help for free. Thanks Scotty. Keep yelling at your camera.
Love your videos, you make it look so easy. Keep it up 👍🏾
Nice video, but the titles are so vague and the fix is so specific LOL
Thats how a lot of his content is. You are spot on
Well that happens with mechanics it tends to be a specialized field
Fix it yourself
Nice video. Quick. Clear. Entertaining.
Scotty, thanks for posting this video.

Thank you Mr Scotty, though I wouldn't be doing it , I have an idea of what could've went wrong. Great video without much delay! Regards, Balan
Thank you this actually helped me unlike the other videos I seen
scotty have you had any luck rebuilding power steering pumps?
Answering questions after drinking moonshine ---that will be interesting.. Lol.
Good info and not a bad way to end it with some good 'ol moonshine. Subscribed!
Man I love your videos, so damn helpful and entertaining! I'm wrestling with a Lancer that's got an ongoing squeal. I've replaced the belt, found a pulley with a bad bearing, fiddled 18 ways with the tension, but still squeals. Took a look at my power steering fluid, it's a little low and kind of brown so I'll be trying a flush of that next.
use a Jack stand Scotty hahaha
Wow scotty, I saw 1uz fe, that's that damn lexus ls isn't it? I've been suffering from the same issue, rather the only issue with that car.
Excellent videos Scotty Kilmer is the best.
You are great. It worked on my 2006 Acura MDX. Thanks Bro.
1:08 Just learned something new today, never knew that!
For your viewers! I had a noisy power steering pump! I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan. I found out the the fluid in the pump was old stuff and contaminated due to age! I began sucking old fluid out of reservoir and adding new fluid. Then i would drive it and repeat this about 6 times. The pump got quiet and trouble is gone! James.
James Sasse sounds easy.
Wouldn't it get contaminated if there's a leak and it's sucking air into the line?
Kim Possible no,,,. Contaminated from age,,,. Should be replaced every 4 years,,. ??? Fluid is cheaper then a power steering pump or a rack and pinion,. If you do not replace the power steering fluid before 80000 miles,,,. You will be putting a rack in by a hundred and twenty thousand miles. ??? Roughly,,,
im gonna try this. haven't seen leakage from my system yet.
This is my new fav mechanic
I have a 2003 Ford Explorer that was making more of a rubbing sound. this continued for a couple of months when I finally decided to open up the hood and check my reservoirs. It turned out that my power steering reservoir was only about a quarter full so I went to O'Reilly's and bought a $4 bottle of power steering fluid and put it in. It immediately stopped the noise so I am very grateful it wasn't very expensive to get fixed. the reason I am making a comment is because those power steering problem does not necessarily have to be a whining noise. Mine was more of a rubbing sound so I hope this helps someone. Thank you for your good video.
I wasn't able to get at it from the top, need a 17mm stubby to even turn the darn thing on my 96 Ls 400, be prepared for ATF fluid to leak out
How would I know if its the power steering pump or the power steering pressure switch?
Measure the pressure of the pump by pressure gage. And turn the wheel end to end while its running and reading is ok then pressure switch is fine. More check bypass by close to the gage valve for 4 seconds if pressure go high its bypass valve issue. If pressure go low the bypass switch works.
My daughter's when turns the power steering fluid shoots out can't really see where but guessing the switch?
Thanks for the help! You have lots of personality!
Pretty cool Scotty! I'm always looking so forward to your videos. I wish you had the time to do them everyday. I know you don't have the time but maybe one day a rich relative will leave you some money. Take care
Scotty, my Audi A4 B6 Makes whining sound when turning wheel after driving for sometime. When i start the car and start moving the noise is no longer there but after an hour the sound becomes bigger and its like rubber without greasing coming form my shock mounting rubber. the ATF level for steering wheel is fine. what could be the problem?
on those, pumps are garbage and just wear out internally and need replacing
sometimes you may think your power steering pump is whining but it could very well be a bad bearing on one of the teflon idler or stationary serpentine belt pulley....
Tim Vittetoe True, I replaced my power steering pump on my 2005 F150 and it didnt help. Turns out it was an idler pulley
Love your vids Scotty and your energy.
I came here looking for some help due to a rattling steering issue in my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. There´s a lot of play in the steering wheel and when i go over uneven terrain theres a distinct rattling sound...not so much clunking, but a rattle from the steering column under the dash. Very strange. I know its a shot in the dark, but thought Id give it a try. Keep up the good work Scotty!!!
check the steering column for loose bolts or breaking bearings on the shaft
Mechanics must hate you scotty😂 but I love you my brother👍
Hi Scotty! My 2000 Ford Ranger steering pump used to make a loud whine but after I did a full flush and added some royal purple, the noise is not as loud WHILE the truck is moving above say 10mph. But its still as loud as before while turning under 10mph. And its stiffer. Even louder when trying to turn while parked. There are no leaks or air bubbles that I know of.. Any fix to this?
yea, replace the pump with a new, not rebuilt, unit. Or just live with the noise
Scotty Kilmer Yes will be replacing it soon. Can you tell em which part causes that whine sound?
Sometimes I think my power steering is whining but it’s just my wife talking.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!
Scotty knows his Stuff. Never doughy his word. Beside to notice how he wrapped the Teflon Tape. Most all wrapped it the wrong way.
this helps me diagnose my pilot. thank you Scotty.
Don't have a $1000 to fix my ml320 rack pinion lucas was to thick blew my line so i cut the boot off can't fix the inner seal so i made a outer seal with a cut o ring and JB weld no more leak and now when the rack goes in and out when i turn their is no fluid residue on the rack i learned this trick from Star Trek Chief O Brian
Tyrone Williams Very good looking.
Why are you so mad at punctuation? What did a comma or a period ever do to you, Ty? XD
@@BPoweredLove You're not his teacher, nor is this a grading on grammar and punctuation course. 😑😒😴😴😴😴😴
Seriously Scotty . if I revved my car every time you told me...you'd owe me an engine overhaul
You the man Scotty!!!💯💯💯
your videos are excellent scotty,cheers from Australia.

Hope you had the car on jack stands when you crawled underneath!
I don't
I don't generally it's safer but it's not really necessary if u have a decent Jack and are careful
There was a guy who died several years ago on the north part of the island I live on. The jack failed and the car crushed him to death. A jack is not meant for stabilizing the vehicle when lifted off of its wheels. Jack stands are meant for this purpose.
@@stanwardoshiro no the Jack's aren't designed for this but a descent Jack can stand in for a jack stand for quick and simple fixes especially if u don't actually own stands tho yes u are correct it is dangerous and should absolutely never be done with the dinky dink Jack's they give ubwhen u but a new car
Hey Scotty!
I recently hit a curb in the snow with my 2005 Acura TL. Turned right into a small road at 15-20km/h and all the impact slammed into my left driver wheel. I need to get the entire suspension replaced on the left driver side but something strange also happened with my Power steering pump.
I jacked up the car when I got home and turned the steering from one side to the other. I can hear gushing sounds from my car and my brother told me that fluid was leaking out the top of the cap. (With the cap ON)
After a while, the liquid stopped leaking and when I checked the levels, it was exactly on the "upper" mark with the steering straight. What exactly happened here? My steering feels a bit looser. Easier to turn the wheel. Feels like a new hyundai santa fe in comfort steering mode but I know it should be like that lol.
Thanks in advance,
it messed up the power steering rack too probably, but with all that damage, unless you have full coverage, get thee to a junk yard for used left side parts to save money
Yeah I drove 2 hours out to a junkyard that had a manual TL left side suspension. They're rare to find in Toronto.
Replaced the suspension today and the car feels better. Power steering isn't grinding or leaking anymore when doing a full turn.
Unfortunately the ABS on the junkyard part was busted so I'm trying without traction control...
Mechanic also told me the subframe was cracked a little too which is bad news. I really don't want to spend $1000s+ to fix the subframe if it's drivable. Are there any risks to driving with the subframe a little cracked?
Well, you can go back to a metal junk yard and get a good piece of steel and weld it :). Scotty has a video on welding so go and watch that.
i have same car lol
You're the man Scotty!
Everytime Scott groins, it disturbs me, yet hilarious!
Scares me seeing you under that car with just a jack under it.
Trust your tools.
this is how man has fixed cars for hundreds of thousands of years since the beginning of time...
And e brake not engaged!
Exactly
First thing my dad reprimanded us (my twin and I), for! Always put a jack stand under the car and let the car down on it! Had a dear friend lose his life because he did not use anything but a jack to hold the car up! His wife found him dead, under the car that had fallen off of the jack!
Classic Scotty!! 🙌🏼🤟🏼
Looking for info on power steering pump noise saw you face on the video and said yep that's the guy! Love your videos
Had to give you a thumbs up for the OLE SMOKY MOONSHINE!
Hell yea Scotty!!! Another awesome vid. That car you worked on was a Lexus LS400 and has a the same 1UZFE motor and majority of the drive train and complimentary systems in common with the Beloved SC400. You Really killed it with this one, all the Lexus blogs are filled with guys like myself searching for a culprit and remedy for this problem. Unfortunately some are lead the way of Power Steering Pump replacement and unnecessary loss of money. I WILL SPREAD THE WORD, CHECK OUT SCOTTY KILMER!!
Thank u Scotty I like your show keep up the good work
Scotty you are the man!
Go ahead Scotty. U the man
I saw a jar of moonshine in the super market the other day. My Gran Pa used to make it and just pass it out in a plastic milk gallon. My Mom told me he took her on a two day ride to his site and explained the situation like this, "There's s mountain lion that lives in the cave above. If he get's us, you get on the donkey. He knows the way home on his own." Americans are hated to a small extent because we are so spoiled. People like Scotty help make us great again through ingenuity and self reliance. Wild Turkey helps me feel great!
Thanks Scotty, I actually have this exact problem in my s13 240sx right now, easy enough fix though!
🥶 oh scotty you so coldddd mann , thanks so muchh this helps me idnt know nothing about cars but iwant do it myself thank you and may GOD 🙏🏽 Bless you and you’re family
Scotty and moonshine, now that's a good combination!😁
We love Scotty!!
thank you! love your channel
SMARTEST GUY ON THE PLANET!
i love his main slogan at the end of every video FIX IT YOURSELF! hahaha
I have the same car with the same problem you're the best Scotty
I wish I would have seen this before I got rid of my lexus. That's a very big problem with LS400 cause the fluid leak on the alternator. Great video
Thanks alot sr. You are a life savior
Dam that was like 123 done. I felt like a slap and I didn't even know who hit me.😂. I love this channel.
love the videos man
Thanks for the great video's. ...
..always learn much from Scotty. Dude...did you get that moonshine in Gatlinburg Tennessee? Awesome~!
YOU ARE BEST !!! THANK YOU VIDEO'S )
You are the man! I see that part on my steering pump in the Haynes manual. I'm going to check it tomorrow. Have a 1998 RAV4 and replacing the pump involves removing too much. Thanks for the tip. :)
I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS..
Scotty, you r the best.
I didn't know about that switch, thanks Scotty
lol mormon here, I guess it is time to get some moonshine! Thanks for the vid!
Scotty, the living legend.
Oh man I have bumping in my steering it was ever so slightly low on fluid. I'm going to have to check it out. It's not making any noise so I hope just changing the fluid will do the trick. wish me luck. Nice seeing you again Scotty.
Love you videos man 100%
Ahaha Ur that coolest brother! Love that ending with the moonshine too
Another great video
I look up power steering problems, my boy Scotty has a video about it....with my car!!!!
SK is King of all the MECHANICS 💕
