When it starts to fail — typically signalled by a whining noise when turning or heavy steering at low speed — replacement is the standard repair.

Remanufactured pumps are cheaper than OEM original parts and are acceptable quality for most applications. OEM parts add 30 to 60 percent to the above prices. After replacing the pump, the power steering fluid system must be bled to remove air and refilled to the correct level.
What Else May Need to Be Replaced at the Same Time?
Power steering hoses and lines should be inspected for cracks, leaks, or swelling when the pump is replaced, as a failing pump can damage hoses through pressure irregularities. The power steering fluid should be flushed and replaced. If the pump has been failing for some time and the fluid is contaminated with debris from the pump internals, the steering rack or steering box should also be inspected.
