I get a growling/whining sound when turning left. Seems worsen the more quickly I turn the wheel, and it only occurs when driving slowly as in a parking lot. I suspected the pump, but wouldn't it whine in both directions if that were the case? Also there's a small vibration in the wheel along with this sound, and slightly increased steering effort. Anybody know what might be causing this? Mine is an '01 sport
 
Good to hear, I just figured since it was only in one direction I could rule the pump/fluid. Will check on that. Much appreciated!
 
mine does the same thing, it's kind of a goaning noise (not the kind the pump makes), the only thing is that it was a reman--should i get a new one from cardone? additionally, it's locked up in one direction on me twice. Both times at low rpm (idle)/low speed and just after shifting into drive. I've also found that it seems the pump isn't providing enough pressure/flow to turn the gearbox until I add RPM. It will usually do this when hot. It doesn't groan when it's cold.
