Noisy Power Steering Help Please :)
« on: 18 April 2014, 09:47:17 »

Hi!

I've searched the threads for this but not sure if I've found the correct info.

When I turn the steering wheel right, there is a whining noise. Then it carries on as I'm driving in a straight line. When I parked up, I turned the steering wheel both ways (not full lock) and it was quite noisy.

I've just topped up power steering fluid, but not driven yet.

Do you think I need a new pump or do you think there may be another underlying problem?

My wishbones were replaced recently, not sure if that has any bearing on this question.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Paul :)

Hi!

Thank you for your replies. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

After I topped up the power steering fluid, the noise went away. It wasn't empty, but was about an inch below the marking, so I topped up to the marking and seems ok now.

Thank you for taking the time to reply :)
