I use Aeroequip dealer rebuilt hose to bomb for a year - no problem.
But rebuilt hose to steering rack growls from very beginning. I came
across reports about this problem but other posts did not have such
complains. Because it seems so simple - hose + restrictor, I decided to
go for it.
I also changed steering rack. My old one was actually newer model with
wider one of return pipes on the steering rack. Rebuilt one from Jorgen
is "older" style with all same thin pipes. ETKA shows older style for
200tq '89, so I don't think it is a problem.
I don't know what actually makes the sound. It is much more audible
inside the car then under the hood. Hard to identify a source
precisely. Sound is heard when I turn the wheels. More rpms the louder
the sound.
I noticed than high pressure hose to the rack moves a little when I turn
wheels (it is supposed to be held by bracket but it was not at the
moment). I never paid attention to it before. Is it supposed to move?
Any idea why it growls?
Thanks.
