Power steering noise - need advice
 

I have 2004 GC and steering wheel(or rod connecting it) transfers steering
pump/fluid/belt noise from engine compartment. The noise is apparent only
when things get hot under a hot weather. Under cold weather when things do
not get really hot, I do not hear any high pitched noise coming from power
steering fluid/pump/belt.

I don't think power steering pump nor gear is at fault since they have been
replaced fairly recently(yes, it's 2004 model). Does any one have an idea
what might cause this noise to be transferred and how to address this noise?
Moving to Alaska or any other cold place is not an option here.

I heard there was a TSB with no solution on this issue from one of DC
dealership tech but I cannot find it anywhere. Help!

Thanks in advance.

Are you certain that is the source? At any rate a little noise is
normal. It's a Jeep. Honestly if it's so bad a little more radio won't
cure it I'd be taking it back till they fix the issue. Or you could
wrap a bit of dynamat around the steering column.
