1998 Sidekick Sport 1.8 liter. 240K miles.
Steering makes racket and whines when I attempt to turn the wheel.
I replaced the fluid and the noises got worse.
I replace the pump with a Ebay unit with (supposedly) 60K miles, no change so I sent it back.
I replaced the steering sector with another in good shape, no change,
I tried Jeg's Dextron ATF fluid, Valvoline P/S pump fluid, Prestone pump fluid, and NAPA Dextron III fluid, no changes.
At this point I am thinking that I had two bad steering pumps. what are the odds of having two faulty steering pumps.
These is nothing more in the system except metal & rubber hoses and they are good.
Never had such P/S issues before!
