Noisy power steering?
« on: 07 March 2010, 12:16 »
Hi all,

I was wondering whether there's a way to stop the power steering from being so noisy. If I move the steering wheel enough so that it just about begins to start turning the wheel, it makes a quiet paper shredder type sound.  :undecided:

low fluid makes the pump howl too, especially if its a deep loud noise, belts are high pitched and squealy.
