Iv only had the car 4 a little while so i don't have a clue wat it is lol
So has anyone had this problem or does anyone know wat it might be....
The fluid got changed at 50.000 and its at 56.000 so yer anyone........

Might be air in the pump. ?

What did they change when they changed the fluid? Did it start when they changed the fluid?

I think they just chaned the fluid that's in the container .... nah it just started doin it ...

Have you turned the wheels whilst the fronts jacked up recently?

Sounds like air bubbles in the pump...
One way to tell is next time you run it and steer left and right check the power steering reservoir for bubbles.

If not, it may be the pump itself on its way out.

i had the same with my vt, changed the pump and now no noises or hard steering.
my opinion: change the pump lol
you can get them on ebay for ~$100 and its pretty easy to change
