I dont know if i need to get new Power-steering fluids or not but everytime i turn my wheel to the right i here a noise, not to the left but to the right, i would here like a dry rubbing squeek noise. Does that mean i need more power-steering fluids, or it can be something else?

 

You can check you fluid and see if it needs fluid. Remeber to fill it up with dexron VI automatic tranmisson fluid.

 

If it squeaks, it's the drive belt. Check your tension.

 

Yeah i dont know if its the drive belt, but thanks for the advice, its only when im driving slow or parked, and turn my wheel to the right, ill here a dry rubbing noise, it has to do with the wheel and the turning for sure, ill have to check. You guys know if i should drain the power-streering fluid or just refill it up with dexron VI automatic transmission fluid.

Haha this is funny, here i am getting my procharger in soon, and im sitting here worrying about small annoying minor problems. GrRr

 

^ lol.. okey if its the belt.. start the car.. pop the hood and listen.. no noise = not belt.. and if it is the belt.. youc an see if its the pulley or not by applying some bar soap.. just a tad to the belt while moving and it'll make the BELT noise go away.. if its still squeeking then check pulley..

now if its NOISEY while powersteering is being used check fluid level first.. low fluid = noisey power steering.. fluid leve good then have someone listen or have someone turn the wheel and isolate the sound.. its going to come from the rack (under the car) or its going to come from the pump.. if you dont know what the pump looks like then just fallow the power steering hoses from the fluid tank..

but anyways if the problem doesnt go away after you add some fluid in there take it to the dealer and they'll fix it for you its under 70k warranty..

anyways to flush your power steering fluid you'll need a vacuum with a fluid tank on the end of it..

With the car running
1. suck out the fluid
2. poor new fluid in
3. crank wheel all the way to the left
4. suck out fluid
5. poor in new fluid
6. crank allt he way to the right
7. suck out fluid
5. poor in new fluid

repeat until fluid is clear

I did mine a different way. I took off receive hose(car off) and put that into a container and then turn on the car and had someone else turn the wheel to both sides and me filling the reservoirup before it hit the minmum line, So I know no old fluid came back in and wait intil my fluid came off clean.

 

I'm usually working by myself =PPP ._.

but yeah the best way to do it would be new fluid at one end and old on the other.. like a coolant flush

 

There is no maintenance requirement for PS fluid changes. The way it's described is a way to flush it yourself if you feel it needs to be done.
A shop will charge some ridiculous fee to do the same thing with a machine, of course it should be faster.
It is much more important to flush brake fluid. I do that every 2 years.
PS fluid, I siphon out the reservoir with a turkey baster (clean one).
Then refill with fresh fluid. Valvoline among others makes a replacement fluid that is a synthetic blend and also replenishes the additives.

I don't remember a single car I've had with a PS problem over a course of many years when I only flush out the reservoir. I think total flushing is overkill unless you are troubleshooting a problem.
But to each his own.

 

Well at least you do it. Thats good

 

ehh like all fluids power steering will need to be serviced... along with clutch fluids, brake fluid, trans, diff, engine, coolant.. Believe me power steering problem exists. upon all makes and models

you can just bleed the whole system instead of draining and re-filling the reservoir. A brake flush is suppose to be done after a brake job is performed because you push back on the piston all the way to install your brakes its best to at least do a little flush to eliminate the air as well as flush out all the crap in the lines that build up over time..

 

I'm not disagreeing with anything you say. It's just a matter of details. But when it comes to brakes I always do the flush. My regime has been changing or flushing all fluids every 2 years on average. (oil/filter every 5K).
I don't have a clutch (auto) but used to do that too on the same schedule.
We are both exceeding what the average driver does, and I would not do anything differently unless it was a leased car.
Generally keep mine for a long time, which I suspect you do too.

 

are you sure the sound is coming from the engine itself? check your rubber bushings, especially on your tension rod.
