Is your alternator working right? I noticed your head light is turning on and off.

well it was working fine b4.. and the lights are turning on and off because its on remote start...

what happens.. is when i cold start it.. there is no noise.. but after i leave the car on and let it idle for 5 minutes.. it starts making that noise..

Maybe there's a problem with the re installation...

brotherdog

i made sure all the bolts are tightened...
dont really know how else to make sure its on there right..

well here is my question.. - why would turning the steering wheel feel really rough.. does that mean not enough fluid is going through the system or what..?
i filled up the reservoir..

Air bubbles is my guess. Drain and fill your power steering fluid. Check the Helms for the proper method, so you can be sure to get all of the bubbles out. Could also be a bad bearing where the pulley attaches to the pump. They are known to go bad once in a while.

if you have air bubbles in your power steering resovoir you should be able to find a place where air is being sucked into the piping (that is where the bubbles will come from) check the seal on top of the power steering pump where the line connects. that was my problem.
