Well flapjack is on a roadtrip now and is having knocking noises coming from his powersteering pump (where he put a screw driver and heard it ). the car is drving fine but the noise well become noticable when at idle. It is the same thing I had problems with a few weeks back when i posted a "knocking noise coming from eninge".. Has any one else had this come up.. ANyhelp would be great for him and myself. Unfortunatly for us its behind our s/c support bracket so its not OPEN like it normally is to take off and inspect. ANY HELP FAZM..

knocking noise from the pump? Does it have shaft play? pulley play? anything like that?

armycook1981

what else do you want to know.... i think hes driving... wait.... he wouldnt beanle to tell .. its behind the s/c ...

fazm

hard to tell when the car isnt here, but what did u do to fix urs? if its comin from the pump id check the pulley/shaft.

armycook1981

for some reason... my waterpump pully.. and the bolts are jacked up.. whenever i would tighten them down it would go away .. I dunno it could be me just telling my self that it fixed it.. BUT im 100% sure its the same as flaps knock...

army try threadlock, might keep them in

armycook1981

i need to figure out how to get the bolt out first.. i might have to drain the coolant system and remove the pump anyways...

paulboy16
