Power Steering Pump noise

[RF Overlord]

Does anyone else have a noisy power steering pump?...mine makes that growling/whining noise that sounds like a really OLD pump, on cold mornings (35-40 degrees), and only when the steering wheel is being turned...seems to get better when it's warmer...

[Wags]

Mine is the same way. I assume that this is normal.

I wouldn't characterize mine as sounding like it's growling, but I can hear it working, yes. Even on not so cold days I can hear it running when cornering.

Mine's fine, quiet as can be...

[Smokie]

Mine is quiet, is warm down here, the guys that heard it so far seems to live much further north.

[Black Terror]

Mine is very quiet, have had 30-40 degree mornings lately.

[drobin]

Mine is quiet as a mouse and we've had 50 degree mornings....

Heard ours whinning this morning (50*) as the wife backed out of the driveway. No this whine isn't normal. Back to the dealer. Power steering should be seen and not heard.


:confused: :confused: :rolleyes:

Hey RF,

I know P/s pumps will be noisy if low on fluid(looses boost too).I started the MM other morning @ 26degrees outside and did'nt hear anything abnormally loud.Sounds like a problen with P/S pump (a bearing)
Bradley G?

Mine sounds like that when cold, and below 40 degrees. It goes away in a minute. I'm not going to fuss over it.
