PS pump

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

My power steering pump did that for a while, changed the 
filter on it (in the box there is a filter, the groan 
did go away for a while then started over (filter was 
filling with miniscule sards of metal.)) I ended this by 
changing the power steering pump, it makes no groaning 
noises, no whining since I have changed it!, now I need 
to change the power steering rack because the top seal 
leaks.(blah!)
