Pump was always a little loud over the past 100K miles, finally replaced it around 180K with a cheap carparts.com rebuild. Made same noise. Ordered slightly more expensive Rebuild (all cheap Mexican rebuilds), started out quiet but has gotten very loud over the last 6 months. Just ordered Bosch rebuilt unit.

What is the proper fluid? Been using volvo Power Steering fluid. Any other spec I should be trying?

Any way the rack could be eating pumps? Doesn't seem to leak any fluid.

Thanks for any suggestions..
