Hey, no worries at all. :)
Yeah, scraping is at the steering wheel.
So just hit the contact point with some WD-40?
I also checked the PS fluid reservoir while running and it's low.
And it's the van that's running. Not me. :0)
Had to beat you to that one LOL.
Not empty, but an inch or so below the min line.
I'm off to Auto Zone to get some fluid now.
I didn't mention earlier that my mom is in town and I've been running
errands all day with her. So yeah, the stress...... :0)

I just solved a scraping sound at the wheel by lube-ing the horn contact, but it was not a really loud noise, so I think you might be dealing with something else.
