We used a power steering treatment with some success -- it was from NAPA - a small bottle that was purple and black. About 4 ounces I believe. It takes a few days for it to take effect, but it did stabilize the steering system. We also found that the power steering pump mount bushings were shot, and that allowed the pump to vibrate against a metal bracket causing some more noises. After using suction to pull out fluid several times, the miracle purple bottle elixir, and proper belt tension, most of the tommyknocker noise was gone. Bought some time until summer to change the steering rack!
