Check your Power Steering fluid level...Most likely it is a fluid level problem. My 1994 S10 will whine when its level is low. Fill'er up and whine goes away. Hope this helps...
Whining noises often come from the alternator or the steering pump. Check the power steering fluid in the pump (there is a dipstick on the pump), and have an AVR test done on the alternator. If the alternator is faulty, you are probably having battery problems as well. If the steering pump is low on fluid or is faulty, you probably are experiencing jerky steering from time to time.
It is the alternator....
It could be your power steering pump, check power steering level. Also could be alternator or AC bearings.
Faulty wheel bearings usually squeak or squeal. A whining noise is more likely to come from a power steering pump low on fluid, or from a faulty alternator.
A whining noise present when turning the steering wheel indicates a faulty power steering pump. As the pump fails, it allows air to enter the system and a distinct whine.
Alternator is defective and needs replacing.
I would check your power steering fuild.
Whining noise near belts had pulleys adjusted any idea what is causing this
when you try to start it then it's the starter.
could be where your power steering fluid is cold and thick
no it will be your power steering pump it is worn or lowe on oil
How do you replace an alternator on 2008 dodge Avenger? My car is making a whining noise and this may be the problem.
