I have a 1990 YJ. In the past month the steering column makes a grinding noise, and though it sounds like it is near the steering wheel, I know it probably is not.
Also, turning to the left and right is a bit harder - like the Power Steering is going?
I drained the Power Steering fluid (though it was not leaking) and refreshed it with a sealer. Again, nothing is leaking.
Replaced the Power Steering Belt, but no change.
Is it the pump?
Thanks.
