So I turn on the car this morning to move it into the driveway and get it ready for the first show/bbq that I have been to all summer, and much to my dismay, as reliable as the car has been for me, the power steering sounded like it was in pain
Only when I am on the gas, anytime I try to nudge the steering to either side, the power steering buzzes. The fluid is full, and nothing is leaking, what could it be? Is the pump on it's way out or is the rack toast?
This really sucks, the first gathering I was actually planning on attending and this ish happens. The steering still feels fine, just the buzzing, but I don't like chancing anything, so it stays parked until I figure it out and fix it.
Oh yea, the motor is a 98 OBD2 VR6, still on the original power steering pump/rack, about 148xxx km.
