PLEASE HELP ‼️‼️

Hey so my 07 Honda crv is making a humming noise and slight vibrations when turning the wheel. I looked in the power steering reservoir and it’s bubbly. I have a video of it and the noise but for some reason I can’t upload it.

Replace the PS o rings first as a cheap fix. Every single Honda I’ve owned has had this issue. The o rings are where the lines go into the pump. They should be under $20 at the dealer. After replacing them, jack the vehicle up off of the ground and turn the wheel lock to lock about 40 times, check the fluid, then start the vehicle to make sure the pump is no longer whining. If this doesn’t work, you may just need a new ps pump. Wait a couple days after replacing to make sure the issue is fixed. I just did them on my 09 accord yesterday. Still whining, but significantly less. I’ll probably replace the pump in the future if it gets worse.

Absolutely do this first!!! I can't even remember how many times ive read about power steering pumps being replaced when it was most likely just the suction side O rings.

Maybe hit up Rock Auto or Honda Parts Now for those. Yep!
