    Power Steering Pump/Valve

    Do you think you changed enough fluid? Since the old pump was grinding, maybe you have some debris in the system. I would try flushing the system again to try to get the fluid looking and smelling good. Are there any metal particles in the fluid you removed? My '91 still has all the original...
