Hmm.  Not sure these things will help, unless you have internal leaks within 
your PS pump -- and even then I don't think your rack would moan and groan.  
Why would I know?  After my unfortunate Schnowbank incident at Steamboat I 
was left with a cracked hardline fitting on the rack.  Drove it all the way 
back to Michigan and managed to drive three weeks with a non power assisted 
200q20v shod with Blizzaks.  Parking lot maneuvers and braking in general 
required a VERY fair amount of effort (but what a workout).  No groans from 
my system (of which I had cut the belt off in CO so as to save the pump).  
Just from me :-(
