While making a right or left turn the steering makes a loud hissing sound. This steering system is also connected to my brake system. Called hydro-boost. It seems like the steering oil is bypassing through the valve on the steering box. Now will it also bypass when I slam on the brakes some day? went to the dealer 3 times and they say they can't do any more. They changed the steering gear box,steering pump and hoses and still the same.
