83 300SD Power Steering
My power steering has developed a loud "growling" (for lack of a better term)
when I turn the wheel. Louder when cold. What could be the problem?
PS fluid was flushed fall '05.

Thanks!
Tom

Make sure it's not the ball joints instead.

low fluid level will cause that. Did you change the filter?
