    Hello . Ive been hearing some intermittent groaning/whirring noises when turning at low speeds . Ive flushed and bled the ps system countless times , i cleaned the reservoir including the screen at the bottom, and i ended up replacing the PS pump eventually ,but i am still getting that sound . It doesn't happen when the car is at idle just when i am taking off and turning simultaneously at low speeds . Thanks in advance

    When was the last time you replaced your serpentine belt?

    Mine was whirring/groaning when driving at low speeds - replacing it with an OEM belt fixed it right up. I also took the opportunity to swap out my pulleys while i was in there. Easy job

    Search for "Tacoma ECGS needle bearing replacement". Might be that, rather than wheel bearing(s).

    I dont think its the wheel bearings i already checked all the suspension components recently . And I don't have the needle bearings my tacoma is RWD. My belt was replaced about 50k miles ago. The strange thing is the engine doesn't make any irregular noise when at idle. Ill see if i can upload a video later .

    It almost sounds like when you first start up your truck after an oil change before all the oil starts to circulate if that makes sense
