Re: Power steering pump or box??
yea, what he said. the pump is either starving for fluid or the pump is going bad.

Re: Power steering pump or box??
good way to describe what's happening. I agree it does sound like the pump. I used a long rubber hose to check mine out on one of my vehicles. Placed one end on the pump and listened on the other. Had wife move the steering wheel while I checked to see where the noise was coming from.
