Groaning on turning right

[chrisExplorer]

Hi everyone,
On turning right only I have a weird groaning from the steering, Its not there when turning left and it only happens while on about quarter lock.

Any ideas???

Cheers

Good point, I will check in the morning. What fluid does it use for the power steering?

Cheers

Ive had this for weeks, let me know if you find the cause, ive tried removing any air from the power steering pump and still its the same!

Right, Just been upto the shops in it now and it doesnt do it when standing still its only when driving, say round a round-a-bout. def doesnt do it when turning left or stationary. I will check the fluid later on but I dont think it will be that or a airlock as its only when moving.

it sound like the pressure switch, as you rev obviously the pump increases pressure but over pressuring the system, the switch reduces the pressure for normal load.

Well, I took the cap off and turned it lock to lock a few times to make sure there was no air in the system and checked the tire presures and all is well for the time being!

Wonder if the pump is getting tired!
