Hello everyone.

I just bought a '96 Trooper LS three months ago.
No problems until just today when the steering started making a
groaning sound at turns that worsens (loudens) with the sharpness of
the turn.

This still applies while static.

I got out & checked as soon as i started hearing it - it makes the
same noise regardless of whether the vehicle is in motion.
It seems a bit early for power steering fluid maintenence...

any ideas or advice?

thank you in advance,
