noisey steering at low revs

Think I'd be tempted to jack up the front end, and put it on stands.. then turn the wheel a few times and check all the joints etc.. do this with the engine off.

The start the engine and do the same, listen for any weird noises etc.

Drop the car back down, and try with the engine off and on..

It may well be the pump.. the thrust bearing is more of a quiet clicking noise..

if the steering is jumping and making a sort of whining noise check the level on the p/s fluid 1st.

thx guys.

Filled the power steering bottle up. No more noise. Getting the belt tightened.
