I have been playing with my D2 a lot just recently and need to post some threads. Replaced gearbox cooler pipes, airbags, power steering pipes and spliced in a new flexi to the Ace pipes from the pump. All working pretty good but the power steering seems a lot noisier. The pipes were Brit Part and are all in the original rubber mounts and not fouling anywhere. I had been mistakenly using ATF in the power steering for the last 6 years but re-filled with ACE fluid after the new pipes were put on. The noise was apparent straight away and seems at its worst on light turning at about 1700 revs. Full lock doesn't seem to make it worse and higher engine speeds seem to dim it. It would seem to emanate from the steering box and seems worse down the right hand side. I replaced the ACE fluid with ATF but the noise is still there. Done about a thousand miles since the replacement with no change
Any ideas and is there a product that reduces noise from steering boxes?
