Steering groans when cold
#16
Many Thanks...
Hi Mike,
You are replying to a very old post and I don't know if Adrian still visits this site, but his advice is spot on. I had the same issue but I believe mine was made worse by adding too much Lucas power steering stop leak. I think too much Stop Leak will thicken the power steering fluid and exacerbate any possible cold weather cavitation. I purged the old fluid and replaced with new and the groaning stopped instantly.
Hope this helps.
