Whenever I turn my steering wheel to the left (and only left) at parking speeds, I get a rubbing/squeal/whine noise in certain points but not all the way through.
I changed the PAS fluid in the reservoir twice already, it somewhat helped after each time (never 100% gone), but then comes back eventually.
I also changed the short hose from reservoir to the power steering pump because my mechanic said it could be getting air into it.
1) What else would you try?
2) Is it worth bleeding the fluid, or would normal use self-bleed it from air?
Spec: D2a V8 2003 with ACE, SLS
Update: Other things I've noticed:
- The power steering pump is covered in black soot/oil/residue.
- The internal filter of the PAS reservoir has some black stuff collecting in it.
See update post below for photos.
