Hey
I have a noise under the hood. It sounds like rocks. I think I have found where it's coming from but I have a few questions.
-Those of you who have installed new LF-20 pumps, do you remember if there was any shaft play? Or was it tight?
-Does anybody have access to theirs that could wiggle it and see if this is normal?
I bought an automotive stethoscope and touched literally every part of the engine I could reach. I can hear the sound bright and clear when the scope is on the power steering pump. I took the belt off and noticed that the pulley is secure to the shaft but the shaft has wiggle room. It's not excessive. Maybe 1/8" in and out (not side to side.) I can't see the shaft moving when the engine is running though. It's only at idle. Moving the steering wheel back and forth doesn't change the sound.
Thanks in advance!
