Power steering went out, replaced pump, did not fix problem, replaced rack and pinion, did not fix problem, now being told that possibly the new pump was bad. Will replace again and hope problem fixes. After changing rack and pinion, pump was still VERY loud. I purchased my third power steering pump, this time from Autozone, not Checker, installed it, it appears to have resolved problem.
