E46 Strange Steering Noise

Recommended Posts

So at low speed when exercising the power steering i get a strange groaning noise some times ... sounds kinda like a piston binding in a bore then releasing or maybe fluid bypassing or similar ?

This is my nissan power steering pump and OEM rack so its a bit of a hybrid solution ... i need a flow restrictor on the pump as its pushing way too much fluid causing a very light feel also.

Ideas ? Noise is at the 8s mark in the video.

Have you tried identifying the exact place the noise is coming from with a stethoscope?

Sorry should have clarified it's intermittent and only when turning the wheel when stationary or moving very slowly as per the video ... assume high load on the hydraulic system.
