Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools and safety equipment.
  • Park the vehicle on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shock.
2. Check and Replace Power Steering Fluid
  • Tools Required: Funnel, power steering fluid compatible with Genesis G70.
  • Remove the power steering reservoir cap.
  • Inspect the fluid level; if low, top off with the recommended power steering fluid.
  • If fluid is dark or contaminated, drain the system and replace with fresh fluid.
3. Inspect and Replace Power Steering Pump
  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, power steering pump replacement.
  • Remove any components obstructing access to the power steering pump.
  • Disconnect the power steering lines and electrical connector from the pump.
  • Unbolt the power steering pump from its mount.
  • Install the new pump by reversing the removal steps and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications.
4. Check and Replace Drive Belt
  • Tools Required: Socket set, ratchet.
  • Inspect the drive belt for cracks or wear.
  • If damaged, loosen the tensioner and remove the old belt.
  • Install the new belt, ensuring it is properly aligned on pulleys.
  • Tighten the tensioner to secure the belt.
5. Inspect Wheel Bearings
  • Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, torque wrench, bearing grease.
  • Lift the vehicle and remove the wheel.
  • Check for play in the wheel by gripping it at 12 and 6 o'clock positions.
  • If play is detected, remove the hub assembly and replace the bearings as needed, applying new grease.
