[W126 Coupe] Power Steering Noise

[Robert Karl Stonjek]

Hi Markus,
my steering box has been reconditioned and is nice and tight (no play).  I suppose I'll have to take it back to the guy who did the work and see if he knows any more.

My car used to do that.  Flushing did nothing to help, using MB fluid did nothing to help.  Finally after a new steering box was put in, the noises stopped.  Guess the box was getting old and groaning...

  Hi,
  whenever I turn the wheel to left or right when driving there is a kind of hum coming from the power steering.  Only seems to occur when the car is cold and goes away after a while.

  Is it air in the system or what?  Any ideas?

  The sound is like a fog horn at a distant.

  Robert
