[V6-12v] 96 A4 with squealing from front of engine

[Scott Thompson]

Thanks,

The PS pump (and rack) are about 9 mos old, and the PS pump (when it was
bad) varied with steering input, so I am skeptical that it would be the PS
pump (but hey, stranger things have happened.)  This new sound varies with
RPM.

-Scott
