Engine off jack up car then turn to let fluid in the pump to ensure don't ruin the pump
Will this mess up my timing?
HI CHRIS CAN I ASK A BIG FAVOR CAN YOU MAKE VISEO HOW TO FIX POWER STEERING PUMP ON 2011 MAZDA CX9
❤
Great info, nice camera work. Very clear!
that really is a sexy ass car too bad its so expensive to maintain
Perfect
My power steering is so stiff that I couldn't even drive properly. It's 550$ for power steering assembly plus laber it's over 700+. They are just trying to rob. It's good having your video.
Dang Chris look at those guns and those Popeye for arms!! 💪💪💪.. you’ve been eating your spinach. Seriously though. Great job as always. I don’t think people really undstand what it takes to make such a great tutorial video like this. I’ve looked up a lot of videos on cars&trucks and man it is horrible. You take your time and make sure every detail is covered and very easy to understand. And that my friend is why you have 10 million subs. 👍👍
is it matter what car you have about is all the power streel cars
Hey man, you should use red atf fluid, specifically Dex III, I have this as a project car and I can promise you that the wrong fluid will cause friction in the gears of the power steering pump over time, and these pumps are known for sheering at the back gear.
Surprisingly, you've got the LF30 pump in there, which is much better than the previous LF20 variant.
I recommend you lift the front wheels off the ground when you turn the steering wheel. Easier to turn and doesn’t cause as much stress on the new parts
Out with the old in with the new
e46's MUST use atf oil in their power steering, think it should say in the cap on the original power steering reservoir that you should only use atf
Hey Chris, just wanted to thank you for your videos! Your info is short and to the point. You don't wonder off about who invented the wheel or about the history of the car. Stuff that has nothing to do with your video. The majority of mechanics or DIYers on YouTube drift off the topic of the video, you don't do that! You stay on topic and to the point!
Thank You and keep them coming!
Blessings
Wow Chris excellent video for sure. Thanks for posting, out with the old and in with the New.
So my question here is I recently bought a ZF Power Steering Pump it was a rebuild one but for some reason that pump is too tight and it doesn’t fit the bracket very well. I even tried using a hammer to tap it in. But only one part will fit. Any suggestions to making it fit?
24hrs of lemons
Excellent video, thank you!!
TRIPLE-A service…. Awesome As Always….
You did remove that old crud spec off the pump orifice before you tightened the crush washers , right, lol…?
Very very nice and hardwork sir .
iam olso machanic but i.dont do that😢
Chris I think your videos are the best explained on every step and suggestions. Way to go … thanks Chris fix
My truck has a lot of play in the wheel and my power steering doesn't work as well as it should. When you're turning the wheel to back out of a parking space, it takes more effort than it should to turn the wheels. When you're driving, it has very sloppy steering. Is it my steering box?
Show your face
Hi Chris fix👋🏻
you must prefill the pump, u ruined the life of pump by running it dry on the start.
As much as I love ChrisFix, man I sure am tired of having to come here. Just one thing after another 😢
I love you Chris fix!!!!!!!!!
Feb of 24 here. Chris fix kicks ass.
Didn’t show how truly difficult it is to remove the return line
Hey Chris. I have a question about my E39. Was driving the other day and out of nowhere I lost (most of) my power steering and the pump was louder than any power steering pump I’ve ever heard. Naturally I thought it was just a bad pump, so I replaced it. Same problem. No leaks; no air. Question is: have you ever heard of a pressure hose failing internally? Do they have check valves in them like brake hoses do? Could it be preventing the fluid from circulating? The rack is new within the last 3 years so I’m hoping that’s not the issue.
After chris fix you can fix anything
how about old cars??
