well i got the kit and took mine apart and i had 1 washer already so i added 1 more to try it and it does the same thing dont seem as to as bad , seems like its starts to hiss a little after you turn a little . i mean you turn the wheel about a 1/4 turn and it starts , so i will do another washer . the power steering is about the same i would have though that i would loose some power , back under the hood

thanks

keep adding shims until the noise stops or the steering gets too stiff.
