Power steering pump making noise on my 940

Jun 28, 2005 3 Replies

The power steering pump on my 1995 940 (64,000 miles) is making straining noises as if it's low on fluid. I've checked the level and it's fine. I can't feel any difference in the resistance as a drive but, any turn makes the same noise that's made on a full turn to the left or right.



Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've never had a steering pump go bad but, I'm sure it does happen.



Thanks for any help Don



Don decided to add:

My 940's been "squeaking" rather loudly on full lock for about 7 years now... I always put it down to a bit of belt slip under extreme lock....

It`s the seals passing fluid in the power steering ram that makes the noise. Mark
