I have a 97 malibu, n my car is maKing this grinding sound when I turn my steering wheel n my steering wheel feels like its tryna lock. But I have steering fluid on the car. Wat do I do to fix this?

I'm assuming you are using the correct stock wheels for this vehicle. You will need to check the tracking/alignment on the steering to check it is all lined up correctly. The outer tie rod can be used to adjust the front wheel alignment and if fitted in the wrong position can cause the rim or tyre to rub when at full steering lock.
SAFELY jack up the front of the vehicle and rest the vehicle on jack stands. Spin each wheel and listen for the noise you heard. You may need a helper to turn the steering as you do this. Remove a wheel and take a good look at the inner rim edge and inner face of the wheel rim. Look for scratches and other scrape marks. Do this on both sides. Refit the wheel and get your helper to turn the steering from lock to lock, the scratches should line up with what is causing the sound.

replace wheel bearings or check for feathering of tires

sounds like wheel bearing to me

The tension on the steering wheel lock could be restricting the ignition cylinder. The steering wheel can turn about two inches in the locked position. Try to turn the steering wheel the opposite direction about an inch and hold the wheel in that position. With the other hand turn the key.

check your fluid. but it sounds like the steering rack is on its way out

sound like horn pad is bad.you going to have to replace horn pad and air bag as a whole unit.horn and air bag is all in one.this is a dealership fix.

sounds like you have a problem with one of your lines on your power steering or one of its components. the grinding noise could also be one of your pulleys that have gone bad too. check your steering assemby gear box.

Although the car is not in front of me, it sounds like when you park ( is this parallel parking ? ) your steering wheel is turned hard to the left or right, which creates extreme pressure on the steering wheel lock. In order to help overcome this problem, you must "armstrong" the steering wheel in the same direction the front wheels are turned. Locking up on the freeway with this same issue. Highly unlikely.

check for p/s leaks, if no leaks replace pump, raise front wheels off ground and turn steering wheel lock to lock until no air bubbles from p/s fluid before starting engine

if you feel it in steering wheel it could be your front axels. jack up the front end of your vehicle and turn the steering wheel to which ever way you hear it most, roll the wheel with your hand and see if you hear any noise [email protected]
