hi lads,
a mate has a groaning sound coming from his 1989 cavalier sri on full lock, any ideas? the pas fluid level is 3/4 full could this be the cause and if so which is a good fluid to use for a top-up? cheers
 
Not responding to this particular problem, but you shouldn't put the steering on full lock hard, turn till it hits the lock then back it off just a tiny fraction, you will hear the noise of the power steering drop a bit when its not on full against the stop. Just enough to take the pressure off but the wheel will still be at full lock if you know what I mean...
