Steering Groan update...

[Bernie Benz]

Tom,

Whats to groan about, unless you are driving parking lots all day?
I purposefully left the acoustic filter out of my 5 year old, $20. hose
rebuild, and since I only notice the pump noise when parking or slow speed
turns.  Not much worse than the stock hose.
