Power steering pump?

[wiswind]

One thing that can cause a noisy pump is old fluid......the '99 would use Mercon V ATF.....I would flush the old fluid out. If the old fluid is bad enough...it can damage the new pump.

I installed a Magnefine filter in the fluid return line to the resevoir.

I like "wiswind's" and "PAMUSTANGMAN's" theory about the high fluid level much better than mine ... the unassisted rack was pushing fluid back to the reservoir ... too much fluid since the pump wasn't sucking any away. Kudos!

So far my new reman pumps seems to be working fine ... easy steering!

Yes, sounds right to me now about pushing the fluid with out the pump. Thanks for your help guys.
