Loud noise coming from the front after replacing the rack and pinion

More then likely this is air in the power steering system or your rack is faulty. Can you get a recording of the noise and then give us the procedure you used to purge the air out of the system?

Here is a guide on how to flush the system which may be the best idea at this point:

Let me know if you can get the video and we can go from there. Thanks

Hi,

Do you only hear the noise when the vehicle is moving? Have you inspected the rear of the tires to make sure nothing is touching? Was the vehicle aligned after the work was done? Is there anything that changes the sound's pitch? For example, when applying the brakes does it change? Was the new rack and pinion properly bled when it was installed?

If the sound is evident when the vehicle is not moving, open the hood and inspect the accessory drive belts to make sure nothing is making contact.

If possible, record the sound and upload it for me so I can hear it. Let me know anything you can think of that will help me with the diagnosis.

Take care,
Joe
