Sounds like what happens when the pump cavitates.

The system may need bleeding to remove air bubbles.

PS box can fail in a few ways. Leaks ( very obvious ) or damaged internals. Damaged internals usually present as a lumpy movement.

The shudder and noise you described is similar to that of when a PS system is running low on fluid, or has air trapped in the lines.

What you would be better off doing is taking it to a unbiased mechanic BEFORE handing over any more cash.

Could be the pump also. So if it doesn't bleed up and you do hit up the wreckers, get the whole setup. Should be less than $700.

They are all fairly similar sounding. Like a groaning noise.

It doesn't sound like a bearing noise does it? Could be the pulley bearing on the pump?
