Power steering pump keeps going out

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

If you are purchasing an aftermarket re manufactured pump and it keeps happening, chances are it is nothing more than a bad pump. However, when you replace the pump, you should flush the old fluid from the rack and pinion as well as the lines to prevent dirt from re-entering the new pump. And yes, I have seen issues where the hoses have deteriorated internally and caused pump problems.

If you have been using the same brand each time, try a different brand and make sure to flush the system before refilling and bleeding the system. Here is a link which discusses power steering problems:
