  Q: How to Install a Power Steering Pump on a 3.5L Engine on Dodge Journey?

  A:

  Before installing the pump on your engine, clean the open side of the pressure hose and the pump port, replace old O-rings with new ones and lightly lubricate them with power steering fluid. Mount the pump and then loosely attach the three bolts through the pulleys. After that, hold them firmly and tighten to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) using a torque wrench. Guide the right side of the engine down using the floor jack and make certain the right mount bracket holes line up with the mounting studs. After that, take the jack and the wood block from under the engine. The engine mount bracket should be installed using two nuts. Raise the vehicle, add the Drive Belt and also install the drive belt splash shield. Mount the tire and wheel onto the hub, using a torque wrench to tighten the wheel mounting nuts to 135 Nm (100 ft. lbs.) and drop the car back onto its wheels. Join the pump's hose to the fitting where the hose enters the pump and secure the hose clamp around both. Attach the pressure hose to the power steering pump, apply 32 Nm (24 ft. lbs. of tightening) to the tube nut and place the routing clamp at the engine cylinder head, tightening the routing clamp bolt to 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.). Next, top off the power steering system, search for any leaks and place the appearance cover on the engine.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Power Steering Pump on a 3.5L Engine on Dodge Journey?

  A:

  When servicing or repairing the power steering pump on a 3.5L engine, drain as much fluid from the power steering fluid reservoir as you possibly can. Following that, remove the plastic cover that wraps the engine, then undo the nut at the bottom of the tube and disconnect the hose from the pump. First, undo the pressure hose bolt at the cylinder head, then take out the clamp securing the supply hose and lastly remove the hose from the fitting. Both sides of the vehicle must be raised, the wheel mounting nuts loosened and the entire right front tire and wheel assembly removed. Remove the drive spring shade and then remove the Drive Belt. Put the vehicle on the ground and remove the nuts that connect the right engine mount bracket to the bracket. Place a block of wood under the engine Oil Pan, ensuring it fits well and raise the jack until you can just push the block into the oil pan. While viewing the pump drive pulley, slowly raise the right side of the engine until all three power steering pump mounting bolts show up through the clearings in the pulley. After that, unscrew the three bolts that fix the pump to the motor and remove the power steering pump.
