My celica is making a horrible knocking noise, I brought it in to get it checked and at first they said my engine was toast. I mean it does have 228k but i mean i was kind of surprised when they told me that because it drove fine before the knocking started. While I was down in the dumps since they told me that i would run me a total of 2k to get and new engine and have it installed, while the mechanic was backing the car out he noticed that whenever he would turn the wheel of the car the knocking noise would stop, he told me to bring it back so he can have take a extensive look at it. I'm just wondering if anyone has had the same problem & if so did changing the power steering pump help or did you just spend extra money for nothing?

There's your issue. If the pump is leaking fluid, I'd wager that it has been run dry.
