PS pump

SEE!!!!

Leave it alone until it BREAKS!
At least you can still get the car home with that kind of failure.

My power steering pump did that for a while, changed the
filter on it (in the box there is a filter, the groan
did go away for a while then started over (filter was
filling with miniscule sards of metal.)) I ended this by
changing the power steering pump, it makes no groaning
noises, no whining since I have changed it!, now I need
to change the power steering rack because the top seal
leaks.(blah!)
