    Hi
    My Van has 49000 miles. The typical humming sound that comes from the power
    streering is louder now. Sometimes it happens sometimes not. I checked the
    fluid and it was above the min level, but I think I can add a little more.
    Any idea what makes this noice louder. Steering was flushed sast year

    Make sure you are using the proper fluid for your power steering. Your
    vehicle calls for ATF+4 (MS9602), make sure that was the fluid used when the
    flush was done.

    Now is the time of the year when all these Power steering noises surface due
    to the cold weather. the biggest problem is leaks/ fluid flow. if there are
    no leaks and the system is full try to have it flushed to see if that fixes
    the problem

    the level was at just above the min level. Filled it to the max level. It
    seems smoother today. I will monitor
    thanks for inputs
