Strange power steering problem

['92eclipsegst]

Ever since I got my gst running a few months ago the power steering had squealed randomly while turning. I replaced the belt. When that didn't fix it I re tensioned the belt and topped off the fluid. That didn't help either. A few days ago on my way home from work the noise got really bad and sounded like metal on metal like I had no fluid. Sure enough when I got home and checked there was none. Long story short I fixed the leak and it now holds fluid. Here's the weird part. When I refilled the resivour I bled the system and the noise went away, but as soon as I moved the car(literally only moved it 3 feet) the noise came back. Now any time I put a load on the motor the noise gets really bad but goes away if I just turn the wheel while idling. Is the pump shot or is there something else wrong?

I would try bleeding the system again, then let the car sit for awhile to let any other air come out. If worse comes to worse, a working used might shouldn't be hard to find that could just try.

Well there is a proper way to bleed the system dont just let it sit overnight.

I agree try bleeding it and do multiple bump stop to bump stop while parked. After that recheck fluid. If it continues get a pump. I have one or two laying around just so you know.

The pump probly wore its self out buy running dry. its dosen't take much time for pump to wear out. so if the re-bleed procedure dosen't fix it your in need of a new pump.
