Steering problem
2006 Honda Accord 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

6 weeks ago - Mechanic replaced power steering pump and pressure hose - $900

Steering continued to make grinding noise but mechanic stated that this was normal and should go away. It didn't. Now noise is louder and hard to turn. Took it back and they told be that my rack and pinion seals are sucking in air and need to be replaced and will cost, you guessed it, $900. I'm not buying that there is a seal problem because there are no leaks. PSF is brownish in color. Any ideas?

PS fluid SHOULD NOT be brownish. Seems either they didn't properly flush the system before attaching the return line to the pump, or your new(remanufactured) pump is already defective. Ask them if the did a pressure test, and what the readings were? PS fluid is either clear yellow(actual ps fluid) or red(transmission fluid).
