94 PA chirping from steering columnbedpan 08-29-2006, 02:28 PM I just bought a 1994 Park Ave yesterday. My first Buick. Great car but there is a chirping sound coming form the steering column. It happens pretty consistently regardless of the condition of the road. When I turn the wheel, it feels like the power steering is pulsing or pumping into operation. For 2 seconds it feels fine, then loose, then fine, then loose until my turn is complete, with the steering wheel jumping slightly during the turn, making me think I need to compensate. (But I think the car is actually following the turn correctly). Any Ideas? EDIT: The chirping is actually a quick squeeking. HotZ28 08-31-2006, 08:40 PM Could be a belt slipping or a power steering pump going bad! I had to replace my PS pump recently, some of the same symptoms. By the way, welcome to AF! bedpan 09-01-2006, 12:50 PM Actually it seems to be coming from the door hindge or the fender. I will replace the fluid in the PS pump and see if the steering gets any better. But I no longer think the sqeek is related. Thanks. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
