[batman026]

well was out the other nite in my 180sx redtop and did a bit of messing and the next morning when i started the car the power steering pump was making a LOUD wine, any ideas lads or do i just need a new pump?, thanks in advance

silly question but did ye check the fluid level?
is it doing it all the time or just with the steering locked over?

[batman026]

ya fluid is full bud and ya shes doing it all the time but gets worse when i turn

[2tonne]

Ah shit, if its not the belt and its doing it with wheels straight ahead sounds like the pumps on its way out IMO, at least there cheap enough...
You might try a fluid change n hope
