Funny you should mention that. I think I have that problem, a growl
at or just above idle which I first thought was ps pump. A flush and
new fluid did not cure it. Listening under the van while steering
wheel being turned ruled out the rack. Noise was at the rear, but
louder under the van and also inside van, than it was looking down at
in engine compartment. Hand pressure on the steel lines under the van
just before they turn up to the engine compartment does affect the
noise.

So I am thinking the lines are vibrating.
