Default Is it normal for the steering to groan when bleeding?

Went through and flushed the power steering system, but while doing so the steering groaned a bit. Normal? Otherwise went well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmmmm, I just flushed mine also. Once in a while it would groan a lil bit. After I flushed the power steering system it hasnt groaned at all. The fluid was about 3 years old so I decided to change it while doing all the other fluids.I did it per the sticky write up...

Same, after finishing and taking on a test drive, no groan, dead silent. It was just during the procedure... which btw took shockingly less time than I thought it would. The pump bled through an entire liter of Pentosin before I had a chance to even react. Ended up burning through an entire can I probably didn't need to had I been prepped for that.
