Thats the one. I had some luck in eliminating the click while stationary and at slow speeds by using the turkey baster method to extract and replace my power steering fluid. After 4 cycles of extract/refill/drive around lock-to-lock/repeat and using 1 ltr of dextron III ATF fluid, in total, the click has completely disappeared when stationary. I still get it slightly on long sweeping bends at high speeds though (50mph +/-). Hopefully, by doing further ps fluid changes, I will eliminate it altogether. My ps fluid was really dark brown, the new stuff is transparent red. At the moment, the stuff in my reservoir is a mixture of the 2 so there is clearly a large amount of old fluid still in there
