this is the third problem i've had with the car in the last 2 months...and i'm the original owner. well turning the wheel makes a loud noise, and i'm 99% sure it's just the power steering getting louder. i haven't lost power or anything but could it be the power steering pump?

Check the fluid level in the power steering pump. A low level in the pump will make the pump noisy and indicate that there is a leak somewhere.:frown:

mine did that when the wheel bearing were wearing out.
found out after i tried to get alignment done.
did it myself not to hard ,about $300.00 for both sides

what kind of noise, a clunk, a whine, a squeal, what?
