    So I recently put in new kyb quick strut assemblies, lca's and front poly sway links and just had an alignment done. I wanted to feel out the car a bit so I wen to a big lot and did some really easy back to back turns. I was hearing a couple clicks under light turning and I kept turning back and forth while moving (maybe like 40 turns?) just to listen. After that I did about 6 hard corners at about 35 and came to a hard stop. When I took off I had a big whine/groan from what I assume was the power steering. I know these are a bit noisy to begin with but this was very noticeable. Turning didn't seem to make the groan but accelerating and revving the engine did.

    I checked the fluid and it seems at an appropriate level. The sound was quieter this morning but it has me wondering if I damaged something with all that turning.

    Any thoughts? Thanks for any input.
