power steering noise?

[krism]

I have a 1999 Kia Sephia. Whenever I turn about 50% angle or more, a horrible grinding/squealing noise comes from somewhere in the engine.

Anybody have any ideas? I replaced the air filter last night, am planning on replacing o2 sensor, fuel filter, and temprature sensors tonight. (completely unrelated to the subject of my post, I know - but I'd like to get this squealing crap taken care of while I'm working on the car.)

Thanks!

I have this problem too - no help for an answer - I'm lookin to see when someone does have an answers.

My GUESS is that you need to adjust the belts. If power steering does indeed have belts. lol

But I have no clue - lemme know! :-)

Would you be able to tell me where this is located so I can see if that's the case?
