power steering pump bad?
I have a loud rattling/squeaking noise coming from the power steering area when the engine is cold but goes away once it is fully warmed up. Is this a sign of a bad power steering pump? The fluid is full in the reservoir and the car is a '95 sc300 with the 5 speed manual transmission, thanks.

It sounds like somebody shaking a paint can next to the ps pump...that clickity clackity sound then as it gets warmer, it starts to squeak and when it is fully warmed up, the sound completely disappears.
I forgot to mention that I do have a jdm aristo 2jz-gte so I have no idea on the mileage of the ps pump.

TacoMonkey, I have the same issue. How did you go about draining the line and what kind of fluid did you use to fill it back up? At this point I think my pump may be shot because sometimes it squeels like that and others it just doesn't work. I also found out there is also air in my PS lines if that has anything to do with the issue

Help
I also have a loud rattling noise...throughout my entire drive.
And when I turn the wheels it becomes even louder!
Do I have to replace the power steering pump? What parts do I need to get?
Thank You!

Here is my thread, fixed the issue went to a local junkyard and picked up a pump for 80$. To replace the pump took about 3-4 hours of time so not to bad. Let me know if this is the same sounds coming from yours
