Makes a whining sound when i turn the steering wheel

Add some power steering fluid problem solved if not replace power steering pump problem solved.

That is your power steering pump,check your fluid,could have a leak,may have a foamy look,caused from air getting in.

sounds like you have a bad wheel bearing, does sound change going around curves ?

Whining sounds when turning the steering wheel usually indicates a bad power steering pump.

power steering fliud is leaking,cud b rhe power steering pump or the steering rack needs to be checked.

I would first of all check the power steering fluid.

Take it to the Dealership have them check it.

normally, the only part of your automatic transmission that will make a whining noise is the pump. it usually whines when iether the fluid is low or more commonly when the transmission oil filter is getting plugged up.

the power steering pump will also make a whining noise too.

turn the wheel all the way to the right and hold steady pressure against the stop. this puts maximum force on the power steering pump and, if the power steering pump is the one making the whine, it will change the sound of it. (usually louder).

if the trans pump is making the whine noise, it should sound different in neutral compared to drive. this test will really only work if it make the noise without the vehicle moving. if it wont do it at idle hold the rpms at 2000 or so.

if you decide the noise is coming from the transmission, and the transmission filter has not been replaced (assuming you installed a used transmission), replace the filter by removing the oil pan.



oh and also, if it is the power steering pump you should be able to make it make the whining noise while the vehicle is stationary. if it wont make noise unless its moving its not the power steering pump.

Sounds liek a power steering pump going bad. Have you checked the steering fluid to make sure it is full?

If it is remove as much of the fluid as you can, turkey baster or anything like that will be fine. Add new fluid and see if that helps.

the suspect part for a power steering whine is the power steering pump, flush (very important) the system and replace the PS pump..
