Yes, mine did it! I couldve sworn it was the box, but I re-sealed all the power steering and topped it up! No whine!

My mate commented on it when comming into B&Q carpark, his car did it too. I thought it was gearbox but he said top up my power steering, did, no whine! Just give it check to give me peace of mind :-) LoL

Mine did it on a 52wrx. Never was too concerned actually. Kids said it sounded like it laughed when i slowed down...................hee heee heeee !!!

Much quieter after 30,000 mile service

I have an MY02 WRX with approx. 40K on the clock. Had it since below 10K and it has always been on the 'Whiney' side, particularly on the over-run, at lower revs. It's not excessive, but noiticable. Never given me any problems so I presume this is how they are?

My gearbox has certainly not been abused either.
