    Trying to figure out how to upload a video.
    Good day folks!
    Hate that my first post is for help but,here we are.
    My 2021 tacoma trd sport is making a, marbles in a tin can, type noise when i start it cold. I thought it was the motor,piston slap or whatever but, it gets worse when i turn the steering wheel. It gets better as the vehicle warms up. I may be paranoid but the wine in the steering pump just seems loud even after it warms up. Sometimes when i start the vehicle the wheel jerks to centre pretty hard as when its idling with the wheels a bit out of line it seems the power steering pump is working super hard.

    I would appreciate any help you folks could offer on the subject.

    Welcome to TW, have you tried cleaning the screen at the outlet port of the reservoir?
