Power Steering repair & replacement made easy

The power steering pump is either an electric motor pump or a mechanically driven pump that pressurises the hydraulic fluid for the power assisted steering rack.

What does a power steering pump replacement involve?

Whilst there are variations between manufacturers, the basics are pretty similar.

The mechanic will;

Check the operation of the power steering pump if it needs to be replaced
Undo the power steering pipe unions attached to the pump
Drain the power steering fluid from the pump
Remove the power steering pump and replace it with the new unit
Put everything back together
Refill the PAS fluid and bleed the system
Start the car and test the steering

Can I do a power steering repair myself?

Unless you are a qualified mechanic with the required skills, training and equipment to do the job, we strongly recommend a power steering repair is only carried out by a professional mechanic. ClickMechanic can help get you a vetted and local mechanic to carry out the work. Just enter your postcode and your car's registration number at the top of this page and select the work needed to get an instant fixed price up front.

What are the symptoms of faulty power steering pump?

When power steering fluid is leaking from the pump unit.
The steering wheel is heavier to turn than normal.
When there is a squeaking or grinding noise from the unit when turning the wheel.

How long will a power steering repair take?

On average, power steering repair times can range from 1 to over 2 hours with an average of 1.2 hours. The time that the job takes will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.

How often should I replace the power steering pump?

The power steering pump will most likely not require replacing during the lifetime of a vehicle. Whilst it is a unit that is in constant use, they are relatively robust parts. As the unit is fundamental to having control of a vehicle, especially at low speeds, its operation is critical and therefore as soon as it has been confirmed that the pump needs to be replaced it needs to be done.

How much does it cost to fix power steering?

A power steering pump replacement generally costs between £180 and £500 with an average price of £300. Ultimately, the cost of replacing a power steering pump depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement.
