Have a Cat EC25KL-A3EC2, when you turn the wheel there is a loud groan that comes from the steering column.
inspected the motor and pump and they seem don't seem to put out any sort of vibration, and it seems to really be coming from the steering column. the unit steers and functions fine, no codes, just a loud groan. haven't found any where in the service manual about loud steering, does this sound like a bad orbital? fluid is clean, and full. possible stuck check valve?

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
