Power steering whine when accelerating
 

Hey all, just had my car serviced last week at Stechnic, my cars developed a whining when accelerating which gets worse/louder when turning, it's not a gear I've put it into neutral and revved and turned and gets louder as I accelerate. Any ideas of what it is?

Also had front and rear sway bars installed with anti lift kit and getting a clunky/creak noise over slow bumped that I've noticed. I haven't got whiteline end links installed are they needed?

I'll ring up Stechnic on Monday but any ideas?

Suspect power steering whine, Noisy pump or air in the system. Did they do a power steering flush or replace any parts.

Not that I'm aware of, fairly sure it was a basic service. I'll check my receipt

Edit: nope not on the receipt, and just a note there is no power steering whine when turning while stationary

Aftermarket sway bars tend to creak all the time. Even if you load up the bushes with grease, they still tend to do it.

In saying that tho did you just keep the factory endlinks? FYI Worth upgrading to either Whiteline or Kartboy Endlinks mate.. The stock ones will wear out rather quick due to the thicker bar..

Your whine is probably just a loose pulley

+1 on air in the system, happened on mine a few weeks back.

I had a similar whine on my MY06 turned out to just be an o ring going into the power steering pump getting old and letting air into the system. I looked at at the pulleys and lines to find a leak but just turned out to be a simple o ring. One note the part listed by Subaru Osborne park was incorrect take the o ring with you and get them to match it

Common fault on the scoobies that little o-ring, I got one from repco.

How do you get at the o-ring my betty does it too?
