Power steering noise.

[edbean]

Hi, I have another quick question about my power steering.

I got this truck from a friend and he never filled it with power steering fluid (from the oil change i did it looks like he never changed that either)

anyway... i filled it up and still hear that RARRRRRRR noise we all know and love so much. I figured maybe theres a leak.... nope its still full.

any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

If the vehicle does that as soon as its started, then its probably the pump bypassing internally - replace!

replace the power steering pump?

Thanks

Or, let it bleed the air out of it. Does the oil look foamy at all? How about changing the fluid first and see if that doesn't quiet it up some?

Im pulling my LOM (previous post) here in 5 min. Ill check for air bubbles and change fluid. Thanks
