weird noise in powersteering... HELP!
so i have a 1997 sc400.
my powersteering pump broke awhile ago and i have replaced it with a refurbished powersteering pump.
it made this noise, like a spinning noise, so it must be the pump itself. it gets louder as rpms go higher till a certian point, it also gets louder as i spin the steering wheel. but im sure its cause the system had to be "burped"...
once i burped it, the noise went away. however, after say 25-50 miles of city-highway driving the noise comes back. this has been happening consistantly.
i also changed the lid of my powersteering reservoir with my bf's sc300 and it went away, but same thing, came back...
any ideas?
should i really use dextron [i think 3] fluid? regular powersteering fluid is in it right now. also should i burp it more? maybe theres hidden pockets of air?
please help! TIA
