    Hello Everyone.

    Just wondering if you guys have had this issue or have heard of it.

    While driving the car I notice that every time I turn my steering wheel I hear a winding noise and sometimes the steering wheel tightens up. I opened up my power steering reservoir and I dont see any bubbles. I attached a video link below of the noise it makes.

    Recent Mods done to the car include a new Topspeed SS1 Motor and Tein Flex Coilovers.

    You can hear it really good at 17 seconds. I got my girl to turn the steering wheel.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: I also get a little wiggle at high speeds when turning.

    If it's worst when weather will be colder, you'll be good for a new pump.
    It happened to me.

    SOK did it for me but you might want to try Brandon at Allpro or 6 stars in Decatur.

    hem I really dont think so. The reservoir seems full, how can I tell if its leaking?

    Cardboard beneath your car at night? I'm not really sure the best way to test it other than constantly checking the see if the level lowers in the reservoir. I only asked because my step mom's 92x is now leaking ps fluid so I figured it was worth a shot.
