This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to include 1999 model year vehicles.
ISSUE
A steering wheel vibration and "moaning" noise while engaged in gear at an idle may occur on some vehicles. This may be caused by resonant
frequencies within the power steering system.
ACTION
Install a longer power steering hose which should reduce the possibility of noise due to resonance in the current length hose. Refer to the Instruction
Sheet included in the kit for installation procedures.
