I don’t know. For that one I would look at the tie rods, steering rack, and front suspension (including bushings).

As a sanity check, are you sure that sound isn’t just the tires scrubbing against the pavement? If you turn the wheel while the car is stationary, tires almost always make a bit of noise on dry asphalt and concrete. That’s normal, and if you move the car after doing that you’ll see a little circle of rubber on the ground.

I have a grinding sort of rubber grinding noise whenever I turn the wheel on stationary mode. there is no leak in the hose or any. Power steering fluid is above low level. what can cause the noise? it’s not hard to turn the wheel but once u turn it even for a fraction of movement you can hear a loud rubbery noise?

That’s the problem I’m experiencing. I need to refill the ATF everytime I start the car. Where I have made turns, spills of the fluid show. I drive a Toyota Hilux, D4D, 2005, VIN No.: AHTCS12G307555669. Show me the prices for the following:
1. Complete steering rack
2. “O RING” steering rack repair kit

In reply to Sonny H.. That sounds reasonable for parts and labor.

In reply to Richard Norris. If it's really difficult to turn you may have an issue with your power steering system. I don't think a Cadillac would have overly heavy steering from the factory.

I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7 4×4 with 130,000 miles on it.
It has a power steering leak that is serious enough that I need to top off the reservoir before each time I use the truck for short drives.
My mechanic reports that the cooler, the high pressure and return hose are all three leaking just due to age. He says it is going to cost $780.00 to replace these items. I looked and found that he is correct and also I see all the metal to metal hose ends are highly rusted which may be a challenge to disconnect.
Do you feel I am being ripped off with this cost?

In reply to KT. I don't necessarily think you've been ripped off, but it's too bad he didn't find the problem the first time. Did the return hose solve the problem?
