RODA SERVICE
Replace Power Steering Pump
Your power steering pump circulates fluid through the steering system, making it easy to turn the wheel. Over time, pumps can wear out, leak, or lose pressure — leading to stiff steering or whining noises when turning.

THE RODA WAY
Our Power Steering Pump Replacement service restores full hydraulic pressure, eliminates noise, and brings back smooth, easy steering. We believe in hospitality and transparency — you’ll always know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters.
Why Estimates May Vary
$450 - $1350 with RodaCare
$500 - $1,500
Our goal is full transparency — pricing may change slightly based on:
- Vehicle make and pump design (accessibility and type of pump vary widely)
- Associated components (hoses, belts, or reservoirs may need replacement)
- Fluid type and quantity (some vehicles require manufacturer-specific hydraulic fluid)
We’ll always provide an exact quote after inspection — no surprises, ever.
When You Need This
A failing power steering pump will often give early warning signs — catching them early can prevent more expensive damage.
Whining or Groaning Noise When Turning
Worn bearings or low fluid levels cause the pump to strain and make noise during steering.
Leaking Power Steering Fluid
Fluid pooling under the front of your vehicle or a low reservoir often means the pump’s seals are failing.
Heavy or Stiff Steering
If the wheel becomes difficult to turn, the pump may not be producing enough hydraulic pressure.
Foamy or Discolored Steering Fluid
Air or contamination in the fluid can reduce system efficiency and cause damage over time.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Driving with a failing pump can lead to sudden steering loss, fluid leaks, and damage to other steering components. Replacing the pump promptly restores proper pressure and protects the rest of your steering system from premature wear.
