I hear a noise in my power steering pump. The sound isn’t necessarily there when I start my truck, but it starts erratically, until it is fairly steady. It is a low frequency growling, rather than the higher frequency sound an idler pulley makes when it starts to go out. I can feel the vibration when I put my hand on the pump, while there is no vibration on any parts around the pump.
A new pump from Toyota is out of my price range. I could buy a rebuild kit, but that only includes gaskets and seal, not any mechanical parts (ie bearings). I’d be concerned I’d open it up and find the parts I ordered weren’t the parts I needed, and I have no transportation other than this truck. Here are parts and prices I have found so far. Please share your thoughts and recommendations. If you have other options you recommend, please supply links, so I can find whatever you are looking at.
