Wildem Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Well guys I got a call from my friend asking to come take a look at this car. It's an 08 Impreza. The problem is the powersteering is making the most god aweful noise I have ever heard from a Subaru ( worse than when I had a rod squeak on my ej25d). The noise in question is coming directly from the pump. not really thinking much of it because subaru pumps go all the time I just threw the spare I had out of the parts car in. Same thing. I pulled the hoses back off and the pump was indeed full and pulling in fluid. But the whole rest of the system is aerated and I can't seem to find a leak any ideas?

1 Lucky Texan Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) o-ring on the hose adapter on top (well, on top of my 03 and 06 soobs) goes bad a lot. common problem that lets air in.I have read of bad hoses and hose clamps causing air entrainment as well.

GeneralDisorder Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Get the new updated silicone o-rings for the pump inlet, and a new suction hose. Use Oetiker style ear clamps - we use two or them on the pump side. GD Edited June 10, 2017 by GeneralDisorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
