1st. post. Hey y'all. I looking at a 2000 wagon to buy for my daughter. I've got it for a few days to check out. When I start driving in the morning it has a fairly loud and low growling, howling, or vibrating noise and sensation. However it doesn't really feel like it's vibrating or shuddering, it just sounds like it. After driving for 20 minutes the odd noise has gone away and the car drives fine. All shifts seem normal with no slippage. During this warm up time, if I make a full lock left turn all is ok. However, if I make a full lock right turn the growling noise remains. There is no clicking at all. Again, after 20 minutes of driving all is fine.
It sounds to me like fluid might be draining out of something (trans. passageways, torque converter, or...?) and slowly pumps back up until the sound and running action is normal. Trans.? Power steering? (It steers fine.) Any ideas??? Thanks.
