Pls help.My toyota camry 2003 model steering is making some noise.I topped d steering oil but d noise is still there.pls what should I do

i also have similar issues, but its obvious that mine is leaking, also the steering is hard, we need advise people

yes, as long as there is noise emanating from your tering then it means dere is a leakage somewere. to confirm a leakage start your car and look into the power stering fluid container an see if it has white bubbles, then ur hundred percent sure it leaking
failiure to change it on time can damage ure steering wrack, we can be of assistance @ menthurtech, 08191840093

Your power steering pomp may be bad due to oil shortage which may have resulted from. Ensure to check for leakages, get them fixed, top oil appropriately and if noise persist, u may need to replace the pomp.

Mine does not show any sign of leakage.I checked under the vehicle and dere is no leakage.and also the power steering fluid is still @ its max position.dey said I should bleed it dat dere is air in the steering.my mechanic den said if I bleed it and the problem persist.I will have to buy a new pump

It might not be power steering! Does the steering go stiff then relax again?

The power steering gear (rack) could possibly be leaking. It may not be so severe to show leakage on the ground, but this can be checked by removing the steering boot bellows from the inner portion of the steering gear assy. A small leakage could cause the fluid level in the reservoir to drop below the recommended/sufficient level; hence causing power steering pump damage (whining sound).

The fact that you have topped the p/steering fluid and the noise still persists it is safe to say the power pump is already worn/damaged due to insufficient lubrication.

It is also a good idea to inspect all the power steering hoses / lines.

Hope this helps!

Regards

I would advice a flush before you make changes to the pump
The 03 Camry is a reliable car

could be power steering belt also

GOod day everyone, please i need your advise concerning my toyota camry 03 power steering pump. I didnt know the hose got busted and all the power steering fluid drained out. I drove the car for 3km and i started noticing noise like metals grinding each other. The hand becomes more stiffer. My mechanic told me i have to replace the pump , someone also told me it can be repaired. Am confused , should i go for repair or replace the bad pump. Thanks.

I have same issue with my steering. When I drive While turtling it relatively soft but when I slow down with the brake pedal it gradually becomes stiff. I also notice little drops on the groundsevery morning too

I also have similar experience wt my Camry, I spent close to 30k to replaced the steering rack only for the one I bought to be linking again after a month.

That's tokunbo parts for you. Instead of buying another steering rack. Buy the seal kit and the boots from abroad and rekit. Changing hydraulic steering racks is a waste of time and money except they are new.

Your power steering pump is bad swap it out.
