Power steering pump making noise on my 940

    The power steering pump on my 1995 940 (64,000 miles) is making straining noises
    as if it's low on fluid.
    I've checked the level and it's fine. I can't feel any difference in the
    resistance as a drive but, any turn
    makes the same noise that's made on a full turn to the left or right.

    Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've never had a steering pump go bad but,
    I'm sure it does
    happen.

    Thanks for any help

    Don decided to add:
    My 940's been "squeaking" rather loudly on full lock for about 7 years
    now...
    I always put it down to a bit of belt slip under extreme lock....

    It`s the seals passing fluid in the power steering ram that makes the
    noise.
