Power Steering moan.
Getting a irritating moan from the power steering at low speed or stopped wheel turning. I'm taking for granted that its the pump. Has anyone rebuilt there original with a kit and how difficult it would be? Would it be better to pick up a rebuilt unit from Autozone and be done with it? A kits $20.00 up, a rebuild with core exchange $60 up.

Re: Power Steering moan. (8T8T2)
We just installed two rebuilt power steering pumps into a Chevy conversion van and a Camaro. Both are relatively new but both moaned for the first day or so during the break in period. If yours is moaning and is probably original, you may need a rebuild. The rebuild on most of these older PS components is very easy and can be done in an afternoon. I THINK that Zip has the kits but don't hold me to that. A couple of years ago, I helped my buddy rebuild his 73 PS components - very simple and easy.
