How to fix the power steering noise and other symptoms common with this system. The same configuration was used in many other Honda vehicles, including the Ridgeline and Odyssey.
Hit that subscribe button!
For the repair you will need:
24oz Honda Genuine Power Steering Fluid
2 New O-rings - Honda part numbers 91370-SV4-000 & 91345-RDA-A01
Available in a kit here: www.ebay.com/itm/4-PC-KIT-NEW...
1 New Power Steering Reservoir
I purchased this one: www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-OEM-...
But there is an updated version (requires new cap - not included) and that part number is 53701-SHJ-AO2
I recommend finding some cheaper generic "Asian" power steering fluid to flush all of the old crap out with.
Required tools:
10mm stubby (short) wrench - the job would be impossible if not very difficult without one!
Long needle-nose pliers
Drain Pan
2-3 foot lengths of 5/8 & 3/8 hose
Torque wrench (8ft-lbs)
10mm socket & ratchet (extensions helpful)
Turkey baster or suction pump

Well done! It's funny how you think you're almost done until you get to that buried bolt. I had a spare 10mm wrench and bent the box end about 30 degrees in the vice. This help a lot with getting the bolt back on...just a smidge more clearance. Keep posting vids. Guys like me need all the help we can get!

@joselbazcom4221 2 месяца назад

In addition to that, most mechanic shop people do not accept parts if one buys it one self from online; they might accept if one buys it from the autoparts stores they patronize. And if they buy the parts themselves, the warrantee is not honored by the autoparts stores if one goes to a mechanic different then the one who installed it. O'reilly's and Napa do that along with mechanics.

@Mismo619 2 года назад

Hello people. I did it on my 2003 Honda Pilot. It work great. If you do not have a suction gun, you can use an empty hand soap bottle and pump to get the oil out of the reservoir. God Bless!

@johnlaney5850 2 года назад

wash the pump out well if you are going to do this. BTW, you can get a suction gun for less than $10, or a dollar store turkey baster would also work.

@DustyDingus 2 года назад

The suction gun is a great tool to have, it just can't get all the fluid out of this reservoir because of the screen in it. But I've used it on several power steering jobs already for sure.

@Hmmm-Interesting21 3 года назад

Just like most people in the earlier comments I want to thank you for your video. I would recommend that when flushing the system, it is good not to let the pump run dry. So I had someone turn the car on and turn the wheel and I was putting more of the new power steering fluid, and as I had no more to put, then I would let the person inside the car know when to stop and turn the engine off. Again thank you!

@76williamsbh 3 года назад

Ordered parts and got this done! It definitely has helped but I’m actually still having some noise after it heats up and i noticed some fluid blown back around the pump before I started. I may have bought myself some time but a power steering pump is probably in the near future. This video was spot on and helped me make short work of the job. If I can make a suggestion, removing the plastic engine cover gives a little more room to work and stuffing a rag down below that lower bolt will save your bacon if you drop that bolt trying to get it back in there like I kept doing. Thanks again for the video!

@glennhansel9411 9 месяцев назад

I recommend draining the reservoir first. otherwise when you replace the o rings the fluid will seep out of the ps pump onto the alternator, which can damage the alternator. when I did this I placed plastic on the alternator and then put rags on top of that to catch any fluid and keep it from the alternator. @@elijahhowlett9350

The reservoir has a screen at the bottom which gets clogged and creates an air pocket below it that can often get sucked into the system. That's why Honda recommends they be replaced.

You can remove the power steering pump if the 10 mm bolt at 12:23 is rusted. It is a 12 mm bolt on the left and a 12 mm nut (need a small extension).

@mplsfarmer 3 года назад

At time stamp 12:10 the video states you need a stubby 10 mm wrench to get the bolt off the black plastic hose connector (low pressure hose). I did this job on an 2002 Odyssey and I had to create my own special Honda tool from a stubby 10 mm wrench. I used an angle grinder to make the box end thinner and then I bent it at a slight angle after heating it up with a torch. It was still a bugger to get access to the bolt.

@TheCswutube 2 года назад

Craziest thing... I had the loud whirring of the power steering a month or so ago and replaced the O-Rings & reservoir like you suggested. Everything went well... until I noticed a leak in the reservoir line that travels up to the cooling tube at the top (in front of) the radiator. So I ordered a replacement hose and clamp.. which took a month to arrive. I then replaced the hose and clamp with no issues. Now... crazy as this sounds... the high pressure hose connection is leaking at the fitting. It didn't leak for a month... but as soon as I fix the leak at the reservoir hose the high pressure connection starts leaking? Would love a comment.

@DustyDingus 2 года назад

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond... It is leaking at the top where you just replaced the o-ring? I know draining the system is a pain but o-rings are cheap. I would probably replace it again but be extra sure none of the surfaces are scratched or gouged and perfectly clean. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link, hopefully you can chase down where that is once and for all.

Replaced both O-Rings and noise was gone immediately, I didn't even need to bleed out the air, amazing. Before it would whine and foam up I have a 2000 Honda accord v6 and it was very tough removing that 10mm lower section. I had to move the alternator wire and remove the hose but still it was hard to get to the nut. I found out that using a flat spanner wrench, SUPER THIN and small, with it I was able to easily get in there and open it. My flex wrench would not work the head was too big, so a flat wrench or a stubby wrench is absolutely necessary. Ive heard an offset wrench or curved wrench can work too

@DustyDingus 2 года назад

I would replace the reservoir too, there's a screen in there that gets clogged and it can create a pocket of air below it. That air gets sucked into the system and causes cavitation in the pump. Then lift the front end, and turn the wheel back and forth with the cap off the reservoir, this should bleed air from the system. When turning back and forth, stop just before it locks, you don't want to turn the wheel until it stops. When the engine is running and the cap removed, you should be able to see smooth fluid inside. If it is foamy or bubbly you have air getting into the system somewhere. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Good video and nice fix, but did you read the top of the power steering fluid reservoir? It says in 3 languages to only use Honda power steering fluid.

Other than that, it was a good video, but very bad advice to recommend anything except Honda power steering fluid.

The generic Asian fluid was used only to flush the system before filling it with the Honda fluid that I ordered along with the o-rings.

Two weeks, i bought a 2003 accord 3.0 v6 and it had the loud noise on the power steering. the reservoir bubbles up, leaking fluid on the bottom. checked for recalls and they replaced free the high-pressure steering hose and an ignition key component. after replacing the new high-pressure hose it still has the same noise and bubble in the reservoir. i figure i need to replace the new red o-ring . so i bought it for $3, a new reservoir with the two hose that connects it. gave it to my mechanic friend to install and after that, no more noise and leaking.

Cleaning it may be difficult due to the location, and I could be wrong but I think Honda had another change to that reservoir that would be beneficial but I can't remember what it was. It isn't removable, and the reservoir replacement was cheap enough it just made more sense to replace for me. Due to shipping issues and availability these days that story might be different.

@@DustyDingus Thank you. I found one at O'Reilly's, with a new lid for $11.43. Not too bad. Thanks for the reply. Have a great Christmas.

Good video was wondering if you had to go to the dealer for the rings or if they were at some auto parts store?

@DustyDingus 3 года назад

I am not sure if they're available in parts stores or not, I found a good little kit with the o-rings and some Honda genuine power steering fluid on eBay, that's what I bought. There is a link to it in the video description. Thanks for watching and commenting!

How much should I expect to pay for this by a professional?

@Roc-Righteous 4 года назад

Dang. we have one same model, color and same noise- so its the two O rings? I need to replace?

@DustyDingus 4 года назад

Yup! Is it also worse in cold weather? The orings get old and let air into the system, cold weather makes them contract further. I also replaced the reservoir because there is a fine mesh screen at the bottom that can become clogged and starve the pump of fluid and contribute to the noise. So 3 parts in total. In the description there should be a link to the kit with the fluid and orings.

@@DustyDingus is it just sound or does it also affect the feel of steering as well?

@DustyDingus 4 года назад

@@gilbertosanchez2102 definitely affected the feel also, made it rather stiff to turn at low speeds.

@kingcarcas1349 3 года назад

i was kinda worried cus my bottom o-ring didn't come in a Honda packaging, like this one

@Tropicanax7x 2 года назад

Replaced my o rings..after air worked it's way out of the system, 2 days of no noise, it's back to being noisy again. I really don't wanna take it off again gahh!

@DustyDingus 2 года назад

Sorry i know its been over a week, but Still making noise? Did you perform the bleeding with the front wheels off the ground and turning the wheels side to side?

I’ve read if you use some Lucas power steering leak fix it can seal this up has anyone tried it here? I have a man 05 pilot with similar noise.

@DustyDingus 4 года назад

I hadn't heard that before, but I am always hesitant to use the leak fix products because they can cause other issues I'm told. Thats not to say that I wouldn't use it in a pinch as a last resort, like stuck on the road with a small leak. For a little air leak like this it could work I'm sure but is there a potential for other issues?

@nickhannum1195 4 года назад

Do not use this. This is not for Honda’s.

@DustyDingus 4 года назад

I thought there'd be a reason for having "Asian" power steering fluid (as it is sold here) or the genuine honda fluid vs generic stuff. I cant tell you what the differences are engineering wise, but I'm always interested in learning!
