Steering still groans
So, I had replaced the power steering pump because it was groaning on stand stills when I turned the wheel. Seemed to be working fine for about a week after installing a used steering pump. Then it started groaning again. Went out and bought a new (well, refurb) steering pump from autozone. Still groans. Now, I realize it's "possible" the new one is shot too but I'm starting to think not. It seems like it works fine under normal driving conditions with speed but slow corners and especially parking spots are extremely obvious that somethings wrong? Especially seems like turning right is worse than turning left. What else could it be? Steering rack?????
