| Noise | Hissing Noise in Steering Gear There is some noise with all power steering systems. One of the most common noise is a hissing sound when the steering wheel is turned while the car is not moving. This noise will be most evident when turning the wheel while the brakes are being applied. There is no relationship between this noise and steering performance. Do not replace the valve unless the "hissing" noise becomes extremely loud. A replaced valve will also make a slight noise, and is not always a solution for the condition. | |
