When Turning Steering Wheel, Making Noise

[djpradagee]

when i'm turning the steering wheel it's making some weird groaning noise, getting

louder as i turn the wheel more, could this be the steering wheel fluid, since

the ls400 1995 is a power steering? please get back to me asap

thanks alot

Welcome to LOC

Sounds like you are low on fluid - top it up ASAP.

If its not then it may get expensive!!

I mean that it sounds like your pump is worn out.

Check your fluid level, but if its OK and the noise is there trust Andy on this one, it is likely to be your pump is worn out.

I just had mine fail and it sounded very bad when turned away from the center position. I had it reconditioned (costs~£180) but unfortunately it created "too much pressure" when tested at the end so I opted for a new replacement ~£400. I got the rack reconditioned (~£150) at the same time and now it steers beautifully.

Quoted about 5 hours labour to pull all the bits out, send them off for recon and reinstall them.

Good luck.
