No ... However, don't turn the steering wheel (Power Steering) from one extreme to the other. Don't turn it all the way right or left, if you do it will damage the steering unit. Stop turning when you hear the noise and back off.

What damage can a power steering pump going out cause?
It'll be hard to steer a car. The steering wheel will be tough to steer.
Would running a 1999 Hyundai elantra with out a power steering belt damage the car?
For a short time, No. It will just make steering a little more difficult. It will probably never actually hurt the car but could eventually cause damage to the power steering pump on some cars.
Will you damage the car by turning the steering whilst the car is right next to the curb?
It is possible to damage the power steering pump by attempting to turn the wheel against an immovable object thereby over-stressing the the internal seals and/or other mechanical components.
Can driving on a bent wheel damage your car?
It can cause a lot of extra stresses on the suspension and steering linkage.
What do you call a car when it quickly turns to one side?
It pulls. Needs an alignment or has suspension/steering damage.
What does it mean that motion is relative?
Motion is always measured for something in relation to something else. A car is travveling in relation to the road, but the steering wheel is stationary in relation to the dashboard.
What is a sentence using the word stationary?
The car hit a stationary vehicle.
Will you damage the power steering if you turn while the car is stopped?
I'm not sure from your question what you mean by stopped. Do you mean stopped as in the vehicle is stationary with the engine running or with the engine switched off?With the engine running:In order for the power steering to function correctly, the engine must be running since the pump (non-electric power steering) is driven by either the timing belt (later model cars) or by a belt running off the crankshaft pulley. The damage I would be concerned with if this turning is done excessively is that of the tyres if it is stationary on a hard surface such as tar and if the tyres are not inflated to the correct pressures. Whilst turning the wheels if the vehicle is stationary with the engine at idle should not cause any damage to the power steering system, I would not do this excessively since there is no object to this. The only reason I would see someone wanting to do this is turning in a tight area or parking. Also, do not keep the steering in the full lock position. Back it off ever so slightly. By holding the steering at full lock for a prolonged period, you are getting the relief valve in the pump to work thus causing excessive heat and premature seal failure.With the engine off:The ratio of a power steering rack is less than that of a manual rack. This means that without power assistance, the power steering rack will be way harder to turn than the manual one - it's designed to work with pressure from the pump. However, the wheels may be turned but it is not advisable since damage may occur to the torsion bar within the steering rack. I would first try to get the car into a bit of motion forwards or backwards before doing this.www.powerbrakeandsteering.co.za
How can you use stationary in a sentence?
The car was stationary due to an accident stopping traffic.
How do you install a steering wheel on a 95 Corolla?
If the car has an airbag in the steering wheel then take it to a professional mechanic to have it done. If you try to do it yourself then it may come out and cause serious damage. Trust me.
