Hi there,

Have the L/H/ Side steering and suspension and brakes inspected as something may have been left loose. The pump will not nesecarilly cause a noise in the wheel area, But if the pump was failing or low on fluid, you would feel a tugging sensation in the steering as the pressure in the hydraulics failed. You could also hear a whining noise from the pump.
