Somewhere in the last 200 miles of my 2,000 mile round trip to and from CO, the power steering pump developed a loud whine. The whine really gets loud and turns into a scream when I turn the steering wheel.
Note that approximately 1 year ago a new rack, hoses, and reservoir were installed. PS fluid was changed to new ATF at the same time as the rack installation.
The only time that I've experienced an issue like this is with a failing pump. The fluid looked to be quite dirty for only being 1 year old.
No leaks in the system. I don't think it has lost a drop of fluid in the past year.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
Here's a sample of fluid that I extracted from the reservoir.
