Power steering noise

[Eric.S.]

Hello everyone I was finally able to pick up my grenadier yesterday Unfortunately, I noticed at home that my power steering makes a strange noise. I think it's not a normal noise, or? The filling level in the container was at maximum with the engine warm but switched off. The German instructions do not say exactly in which condition the oil should be checked. Does anyone have an idea? I tried to post a video but I always see the file is too big (7mb)
Thank you

I have to ask, has anyone tried to eliminate the noise by draining the power steering fluid and then refilling it with proper fluid? Jeep people complain about the whine, drain the pump and put new fluid in. Or is that to easy.

Are you pursuing getting it swapped?

Not right now.

Hmm I assume this would have been attempted already?

I have not come across any jeep PS whine videos…

I found this on a Jeep forum. Will attempt tomorrow and report back. Need to dig out my jackstands. I’ve already attempted cranking my wheel back and forth for 15 minutes in my driveway with tires on the ground and engine/pump running which had zero effect.

Here is same noise on a Nissan Altima.

Great! Our $90k trucks are relegated to the same category as fking altimas hoopties

Here is similar situation. The jeep dealer says, they all do it but everyone on forum say not really.

Steering Whine

Good afternoon, Please check out the video below and let me know if you guys are experiencing anything similar. The steering pump is whining and I took it to the dealer last week; naturally, they said it was normal. I know better, but I'm putting this out there for opinions, specifically...

That noise level is not bad at all, relative to mine. Keep in mind, the dude was inside a garage too, where sound is further reflected and multiplied.. even then, you can barely hear it over the idling engine
