Steering Pump & Window??

ultradub · 04-06-2003, 10:59 PM

I had my steering pump recently replaced, yet the steering makes a strange squeeking sound, any ideas anyone before I take it back to the dealer?

The driver side window, seems to vibrate when I am driving. Squeeks with the slightest road caused vibration, any ideas? Could it possibly come loose from it's mechanism?

Thank You

1. The power steering may still have air in the system- give it a week or so and see if the noise goes away. If not, the system may neeed to be bled in better.

2. Are you sure that it is the window, not the door seals? If not, there have been a lot of complaints on this forum about squeaky door seals, and usually some type of lubricant on the rubber door seals helps the situation. If it is the window itself, then I suppose it is possible for one of the window tracks to come loose, but I have no idea how hard it would be to get to it and fix.

Keep us posted on what you find!

I would only hear it when for example getting in and out of a parking spot.

Exactly, it seems to occur during low speeds, and obviously when best audible.
