Re: Steering Pump noisy

You might try changing the fluid. I assume these still call for automatic transmission fluid. Someone may have used the thinner stuff labeled POWER STEERING FLUID. At any rate, I would try changing the fluid using what's called for in the owner's manual.

Re: Steering Pump noisy

Try flushing, and change fluid in the power steering with mercon ATF.
I would also try added some Lucas power steering treatment.
