Noise

Hissing Noise in Steering Gear
There is some noise with all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing
sound when the steering wheel is turned and the car is not moving. This noise will be most
evident when turning the wheel while the brakes are being applied. There is no relationship
between this noise and steering performance. Do not replace the valve unless the "hissing"
noise becomes extreme. A replaced valve will also make a slight noise, and is not always a
solution for the condition.

noise in the rack and
pinion

Standard value

VRS on

Inner

38.64 °

Outer

31.78 °

VRS off
