Re: steering has a wind
My wife's 2004 Yukon did the same thing. Whined when turning left. It gradually happened more and more and did it on every slower speed left turn.
Yesterday I bought a replacement rebuild steering gear -- Lares, put it on and bled it -- has hydroboost also. Problem went away. Does not whine anymore. |

Re: steering has a wind
Just did a new box on my truck today. Old one had been making noise since the last bleed, and started leaking.
Moral of the story is its fairly easy to do and not that expensive. $125 for a reman box at napa with the aaa discount. Drain the pump and lines and fill the whole system with fresh fluid. Should do the trick. Posted via Mobile Device |
