Power steering noise
Hi all. My power steering is making noise when turning. Is the pump going south or does it need new fluid? The fluid level is full, so no leaks. Thanks.

It could be a few different things, but I'd try fresh fluid to start. Has the fluid ever been changed?

Changing the fluid seems to have fixed the problem. I did not have the van new so I might be the first to change it.

How do you go about draining the fluid? Is there a plug to remove or do you have to remove a hose?
