Hey guys!
Just wanted to throw this "issue" at you guys and see what you think. My power steering pump has always whined quite a bit in the cold. This season it's pretty loud. HOWEVER, as soon as my Jeep is at or close to operating temperature, the whining goes away completely (OR if the temperature isn't MAJORLY freezing out...it's never there. It has been like this as long as I can remember). So what could be causing this? Fluid level is perfect and the color of the fluid is pink as can be! So what could be causing the noise? Is something contracting and letting air into the pump when it's cold? Is there anything I can do about it?
Thanks all!
