  • Whine when I turn.

    Every time I turn my steering wheel there is a high pithched whining sound coming from outside. My friends car did this and it was low on power steering fluid. Nayone know how to tell what the problem is? No fluid levels are low and nothing is leaking.

      Might be the PS pump, could be the beginning of a failure. Other than that, it might just be the tires are underinflated.

        It's the Power Steering Pump. My 96 Firebird did that for 4 yrs. I did everything but replace the pump and it was still there when I sold it.

        Doesn't necessarily mean it's going out though.

          The handling on the car is still perfect. Anyone know how much the pump costs?

            You can go to www.autozone.com to see how much a new pump would run. (If you have an Autozone in your area)

                Could be the whole steering assembly itself.

                  The rack and pinion will make that noise when it has an internal leak. There are 2 causes for it: 1). There is air trapped in the fluid. This can be fixed with a fluid flush and bleed. 2). The internal seals on the pistons are leaking. This can't be fixed so easily. In some cases, it doesn't really affect much. You will lose some of the power assist but 9 out of 10 times, you won't notice it.

                    Your easiest bet would be to check fluid
