Power Steering may growl when cold due to the increased viscosity of the fluid at lower temperatures, which can lead to insufficient lubrication and hydraulic pressure in the system. Additionally, air trapped in the fluid or a failing power steering pump can exacerbate the noise. As the system warms up, the fluid thins and circulation improves, often reducing or eliminating the noise. Regular maintenance and checking fluid levels can help prevent this issue.
