Default Power Steering Pump

Guys

Recently when turning right on a roundabout I started getting a real nasty 'graunching' noise from the front wheel area and a vibration that could be felt in the floor.

My initial thought was wheel bearing, so replaced the wheel bearings on the front of the car.

Also at the same time did TCA's Track Rod ends and checked all the poly bushes.

Everything was fine, there was no real signs of anything untoward.

On the cars first test drive it was apparent the problem was still there, so got to thinking the only thing we didnt change were the top mount bearings, cups & rubbers, so got all new parts and changed them.

Again, first test drive, as soon as you load up the near side front wheel when turning right you get this 'graunching' noise and vibration in the floor.

There is no obvious play in the rack.

Could this be a power steering pump problem ?

Cant think of anything else it could be that hasnt already been changed.
