\\How to fix squeaky power steering\
by Haydn Haines\
If you\'re power steering \"squeaks\" while holding full lock then it\'s most likely caused by air in the system causing the pump to \"squeak\"... To air out the system:
Let the car idle (below 1000 RPM)
turn the steering wheel to full lock one way
hold for 2-3 seconds
turn the steering wheel to full lock the other way
hold for 2-3 seconds
No more squeaking on full lock, I did mine this morning, took 0.5 seconds (well, 6 seconds but anyway!) and it worked The info\'s from the Mk2 repair manual, but I guess it will be the same for all MR2\'s with power steering
