03 Vue creeks when turning right or when bouncing while driving.

It also makes the sound, and you can feel it by your feet in both front seats, when the steering wheel is turned while sitting still. It is the front wheel drive model.

    I think it has about 65k on it. Maybe 70k. Where is the power steering fluid? Are there any other signs to look out for that would indicate the pump to be out?

    Well we finally took it in to the dealer and they said it was the strut mounts. Nothing urgent and I think they did something to make it quiet for now.

    Mine too creaks when turning the steering wheel. I was told by Midas last May that it was the front end link pins, which they could replace for $300. Since it wasn't a safety issue, I let it go but am now tired of listening to the noise.

I have the same problem on an '04 model. I'm replacing the Stabilizer link bars. That is here my noise is coming from. Should be able to replace with a minimume amount of effort. Two bolts and thats about it. I'll let you know how it works out.

This can be Caused by 1 of 2 Things. I would get your Power Steering Pump checked out or even check the Fluid in it. Also, How Many Miles are on the Shocks on your Car? Worn Shocks can act the Same way if they have been on for too Long. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

    I have not Worked on a Satern Vue in a Long time and Cannot Totally Remember where the PS Pump is on these Motors. The other Signals for failure would be a Stiff Steering wheel.

My first guess would be a bad tire. You could have the tires rotated front to back to see if the problem stops.

It really sounds like you have a front wheel bearing that has gone out. This would make the anti-lock system fail so you would have a brake light indicator on.

When i make turns, the bottom of car creeks, what could the problem be?

Depends where the sound is, but if you look at the front suspension, there should be a rubber pad called the spring isolator between the spring and the steel spring seat. If it is gone or rotted, you'll get an ugly sound when you turn. If it's making noise going around a corner, especially on only one side you might need to have your CV (constant velocity) shafts (drive axles) checked.

I just had my wheel bearings replaced on both right and left sides in the front of my 2002 saturn vue. My vue sounds very loud when I am driving. What is it?

Vues are bad for having all hub bearings make noise,check your rear ones.Or the ones you didn't have replaced.If it's all wheel drive check the propshaft center carrier bearing.Common to fail & make noise.hope this helps

Old car noise or trouble?

i have seen a lot of cars make noise when you turn the wheel all the way one way or the other and usually it is either the upper or lower ball joint. it will be louder when its really cold. i would jack the car up and see if there is any play in the ball joints.

Steering creeks when turning left or right. front wheel noise.

My advise is when u get a humming noise when banking left or right. Its beter to change both left and right wheel bearing and ball joints. Cause if u think about it those parts are put on at the same time . So if u think about it they have the same where in Terre . left or right hope this helps you.

Where do you feel the vibration? if you feel it where you sit it is coming from back which is usually rear brakes. If you feel the vibration in your feet and hands it is coming from the front which could be your ABS or front brakes.

Rear Suspension

first try to tie all your bolts in the front end with1/2 drive wrench,then try to bounce your car in the front to pinpoint where is the rattle it could be your strut mount
