Hey i recently bought my brother's black eclipse gs-t. It hasnt been driven in 2 years and this week i bought it and am in the process of resurrecting it. The main problem is an annoying noise coming the power steering pump or even worse the rack and pinion. I'm so used to driving the car it's hard to tell if there is any power steering at all, but it makes a uuuuurrrrrrrr noise when i am taking turns. At idle, you can usually hear what sounds like the power steering pump making a stupid sound. DOES anyone have ANY comments or thoughts about this?? please post about it if you think you know whats up, or if you have had a similar problem and know how much it costed to fix!! Thanks

Jack the car up, grab the top and bottom of the rim and try to rock it. If its loose=ball joints.
Check the tie rod end also. The wifes car was making a clunk noise, I blew it off for a while. When I finally checked it, the tie rod was so wasted the tire moved about 1/4" . Not cool!! -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
