When I Turn My Steering Wheel, I Hear A Loud Noise??

Question

I cant explain the noise, Lol.. Id say it sounds kinda like a grinding noise?? What could this be?? It has power steering fluid..

Answer 1

it will probably be in your front wheel suspension, they are called boots and on the tie rod area, get them replaced

Answer 2

If its also popping noise you need to get a drive axle. (soon)

Answer 3

If the noise is there at 50km/h when turning, it's probably a wheel bearing

Answer 4

it could be the belt or a wheel bearing.

Answer 5

if it is a whine and i will bet that it is, your fluid level in the power steering is low or the pump is failing.

Answer 6

Sounds like your pump may be shot...that being said it wont hurt to try flushing the system before you spend alot of money on a new pump...remove as much old fluid as you can with the car running and then add transmission fluid...dexron III will work fine...turn the steering wheel back and forth 5-6 times and repeat 4-5 times removing the fluid and adding dexron...the last time you remove the fluid add Lucas power steering fluid additive and drive the vehicle for a couple days and see if that doesn't fix your problem...if it does not you probably need a new pump and if you don't think you can handle that yourself find a reputable shop...Good Luck
