Occasional "scraping" sound- I think its from power steering pump... ??
 
I have an occasional "metal to metal" scraping sound that seems to be coming from my power steering pump. I have checked the fluid level and it is fine. Does the filter in there need to be changed, or is my PS pump on the way out?

Thanks in advance!

BTW- its a 1985 380SE.

Nevermind.... whatever it was, it has stopped and has not did it for over 6 weeks. I was browsing my old threads and ran across this. ;)

Mine did that recently after I had replaced the head gasket - which involved taking two power steering hoses off, I guessed it was low fluid which I topped up.

Fine afterwards. ah well...:silly:
