power steering bad noises

[honda954racer03]

ok so i tried searching and it gave me some ideas but still not sure. when i make turns sometimes it sounds like metal, it squeaks and seems to have gotten worse. I topped off the fluid with a half a bottle so it was low about 2 weeks ago but the noise seems to be slowly getting worse... anybody know?


One other question I checked the brake pads and all seem good to go except the front right side. It is alot more worn than any of the others. Is this normal?

Oh one more thing I forgot to mention. I checked the fluid again today and it is still full but it looked murky and brownish could it be contaminated?

you can never go wrong w/ a flush , well at least thats what my X-gf would say.
i would like to know if you can do a power steering fluid flush.

Was it better after the newer fluid?
Ck for leaks on the hoses underneath. It shouldn't be low.
Time for new fluid if it changed color.

If the rt side is hotter than the left, you have a problem with the caliper.

I bet your pump is dying, if you have alot of noises at lower RPM's then it going bad. I just had to replace mine.
