    I noticed a hissing sound coming from my truck. In the video you can hear the hissing but it stops when I turn the steering wheel just a bit.Unless I missed it I couldnt find to much info about this. I just flushed the fluid about 4 months ago, it still looks clean and no burnt smell plus the reservoir is still full. I just replaced the rack bushing a few months ago as well. Would this be a symptom of a bad steering rack? https://youtu.be/PeMIosnB_JY

    Can’t hear any hissing and I’m not going out to get my earbuds!:D

    Exhaust leak? Hard to tell from your video.

    When I hear hissing I don't think of a bad steering rack. I didn't hear anything in that video.

    Mine is doing the same exact thing. Did you ever figure out what was wrong?
