I had the mechanic who do an ABS actuator pump and master cylinder brake booster replacement with a used parts. Now every time I drive the car I can hear it intermittently and when turn it off, the car basically screams. It’s a lot louder than it was before. I noticed the sound come from the right side of hood from the actuator pump location, not from brake booster master cylinder. Nor any problem in car performance, nor any ABS dash light, and brake is okay.
What to do? Is the problem from pump or the master cylinder? Should I replace and change the pump?
Any solution?
Thanks

Hi,

Is it possible for you to record the sound and upload it for me to hear? It may be the pump itself that is bad.

Let me know.

Hi,

It sounds like the pump itself may be going bad or just may be louder than your old one. However, it is louder than one would expect. Is there any warranty on the work that was done? Other than the noise, are the brakes working properly?

________________________________

I don't know if replacing it is something you would like to do, but here are the directions for removal and replacement. Note that even a new pump may be louder than the original one.
