Steering Screeeeeech with A/C on. 91 240 200

The steering on my 91 240 has always, well for as long as I can remember at least 10 years or more, been stiff when turning to the left in the morning. Replacing the steering u-joint didn't help.

I recently had a guy flush out the power steering (hate to admit it but I had never done it and we bought the car new in '91). He said the pump wasn't circulating, and ended up flushing it twice. Now, the steering intermittently catches when turning either way, but I only get a loud screech with the A/C on, throughout the turning of the wheel.

The drive belts have less than 1000 miles on them and are tensioned correctly - I replaced them all when doing the timing belt and water pump a couple months ago. I also replaced all the mount bushings for the power steering pump.

Getting the car ready for my youngest to drive as she just got her permit. Think a new pump is in order? Any thoughts would be appreciated - thanks!

Dave
