DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
STEERING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS CHARTS
STEERING NOISE
There is some noise in all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing sound evident at
standstill parking. Hiss is a very high frequency noise similar to that experienced while slowly closing a water
tap. The noise is present in every valve and results from high velocity fluid passing over the edges of the valve
orifice. There is no relationship between this noise and the performance of the vehicles steering system. Hiss
may be expected when the steering wheel is at the end of its travel or slowly turning when the vehicle is at
a standstill.
CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSES CORRECTION
Objectionable Hiss Or Whistle 1. Damaged or mispositioned
steering column coupler to dash
panel seal.1. Check for proper seal between
steering column coupler and dash
seal.
2. Noisy valve in power steering
gear.2. Replace steering gear assembly.
3. Mis-routed power steering hose 3. Check for proper routing of power
steering hoses and ensure they do
contact other components.
Rattle Or Clunk 1. Steering gear loose on front
suspension crossmember.1. Check steering gear to front
suspension crossmember mounting
bolts. Tighten to specified torque if
found to be loose.
2. Front suspension crossmember to
frame bolts or studs loose.2. Tighten the front suspension
crossmember attaching bolts or
studs to the specified torque.
3. Tie rod is loose (outer or inner). 3. Check tie rod pivot points for
wear. Replace worn/loose parts as
required.
4. Loose lower control arm to front
suspension crossmember bolts.4. Tighten control arm mounting
bolts to the specified torques.
5. Loose upper control arm/ shock
absorber mounting bracket to body
attaching bolts.5. Check mounting bracket to body
attaching bolts for looseness. If
required tighten to the specified
torques.
6. Power steering fluid pressure
hose touching the body of the
vehicle.6. Adjust hose to proper position by
loosening, repositioning, and
tightening fitting to specified torque.
Do not bend tubing.
7. Noise internal to power steering
gear.7. Replace steering gear assembly.
8. Damaged front suspension
crossmember.8. Replace front suspension
crossmember.
9. Loose stabilizer bar attaching link
mounting nuts.9. Tighten the stabilizer bar attaching
link mounting nuts to the specified
torque.
Chirp or squeal (in the area of the
power steering pump). Particularly
noticeable at full wheel travel and
during standstill parking.1. Loose power steering pump drive
belt.1. Adjust power steering pump drive
belt to specified tension.
