I have replaced my PS pump with a reman (from auto zone) due to a major leak. No leaks, but I now have a "groan" when I turn to the right, and only right. And it only happens when sitting still or barely rolling. I have sucked out old fluid from resivoir and added lucas additive about a month ago shortly after I changed ps pump. It it my everyday driver so I think the lucas has had time to "work". Any ideas?

Hey Ismit605...I know exactly that groan...check this thread...you will need access to a welder or someone (as in my case) who knows how to weld...cheap fix actually for a LR: https://landroverforums.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=25810

 

The pump was not completely rebuilt, you have a bad valve in it so go get it replaced under warranty.

 

Hmm...I've recently developed a "groan" or mild "fart" from my power steering that I thought was just from changing the PS fluid recently. But now that I think about it, it is only upon cold start up at very low speed and turing the wheel right I believe.

 

Mike, you don't think it is the TSB they are talking about? since it only makes the noise turning to the right, I figured the pump was fine ("auto zone fine") thanks
