noisy power steering

Post by DR Frankenstine »

I have a hj60 with 35's and when the weather is cold...0-5 deg... the power steering is quite noisy. Still works fine just noisy. I have changed the oil and put some conditioner in it but no difference.

Not a belt :?: i was going to say it may not like the colder temps (bearings maybe bit smaller/tighter but it's still 2/tenths of nothing) but once it's at operating temp it wouldn't matter. Interesting one
plenty of parts on the bench
