Thanks for the enquiry,

The first thing I would recommend is having the non-genuine steering pump tested. We can test this on an isolated testing rig to ensure it is pressuring and holding pressure correctly. We can also test the steering rack at the same time – the ram inside can cause this fault but to say it’s happened directly after fitting an aftermarket steering pump, I would suspect the pump first.

We often have customers come to us saying they replaced the pump and the heavy steering problem remains and after investigating the issue, we find the non-genuine part was not fit for purpose. It’s quite rare that we see an aftermarket steering pump being manufactured to a high standard.

I hope this information helps and should you have any further questions, feel free to come back to us.

Kind Regards

Jason

My local garage who look after the car advised me that the power steering pump was noisy. Although to me having the car from new it did not seem to be a problem.
however they replaced the pump with a reconditioned unit. the steering is now very heavy in all conditions , idle,slow, fast etc., The garage now tell me that it is the rams in the rack. What do you think. Could the recon pump be faulty, it’s not a genuine alfa pump. How much do the rams cost to buy?
