Good to be where Hondas go.
had 'loose marbles' noise under the hood on my 94 EX after getting caught in some flood waters. Noticed the driver side inner fender shroud had been forced onto the DS front tire during the storm - while resetting that I heard that loose marbles sound under the hood. When I checked my first thought was the PS pump pulley, but there's no bearings in the pulley assembly. There are no really good Honda mechanics to turn to. With a stethoscope.(screwdriver ) it isolated at the PS pump but there's no leakage at the hi-pressure hose/low pressure hose or the power steering assembly. The PS fluid reservoir had become partially dislodged but no signs of damage. Wondered if it might be the alternator as the engine compartment may have gotten wet during the downpour. So I'm looking to some much more experienced ears and thoughts-as well I hope Honda-tech members have experience with remanufactured power steering pumps. The OEM choice isn't available and I'm not familiar with the names I've checked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
