Blew the belt at the track a few weeks ago, and had to muscle the steering around a little while getting the car on the flatbed/into the garage etc.

Fixed the belt, and now when I really give it the boot in a right turn, I get a very loud groan from the steering. No noise when I go left, though.

Any ideas? Pump? Rack? Kinda odd that its doing it in one direction. Its fine in low speed or low effort turns, but when I crank up the pace its pretty bad.

Fluid is fresh and topped off.

hmm. i woulda guessed low fluid but you have it filled. Did you try turning it lock to lock over and over again and make sure there are no air bubbles?

I would guess the rack. If it was the pump, it would do it both sides. I think it just might be one side of the rack. Did you have to turn it hard to the right when the belt blew off?

I was thinking rack as well. Either that or Im a retard and my lugnutz are loose. I had to move the car around a bit, turned it left and right.

With the car stationary, I can spin the wheel as hard as I want in any direction, no problems, but when the suspension is under load, it makes noise.

Bringing this back up. I have the exact same issue. Only when turning the wheel to the right it groans. (in a certain spot of the turning radius once passed it it's quiet)

Was it the rack??
