My power steering is noisier than a mother-in-law...or is that possible:hmm:? So anyway it roars every time you turn it,im thinking it might be the rubber O-rings on the power streering shaft. I don't know. Thank you.

If you're real low on fluid it will sound off, also make sure the belt is tight.

I thought my pump was bad because it only squealed at full turn. Turned out it was the belt slightly loose. It doesn't have a stock belt because I removed AIR pump and there was no more adjustment to tighten the belt. Got a new slightly shorter belt that I can fully tighten and it is quiet now.
