I don't have the answer,,,my Stratus 2001 just started doing the same thing, only it's more like a popping/cracking sound when steering wheel turned to the far right or left. Took it to repair shop after work today; mechanic drove it and reported that it sounds to him like a spring or bolt is either coming loose inside the column or already has. I have an appt to bring it in to disassemble the steering column this weekend to find the solution to the problem.
You either have no/low power steering fluid in your car, or there is some other problem with the power steering, such as a leak in the tube.
Check out the bearings in the steering column and the knuckles in the steering shaft
Grinding, rough steering, fluid leaking from seals.
the dealership told me that it is due to the steering column needing to be lubricated
it is the powering steering pump and or PS fliud leak
There could be a problem in the steering linkage but most likely, the power steering pump is bad or low in fluid
many reasons, steering pump, cv joints may be going out, or you could be grinding some plastic that goes around the wheel
u need to grease ur rubber bushes in the steering column .
Check your power steering fluid level. It may be low.
grinding means the bearings inside steering column are worn out go to a steering column specialist to have them replaced if you leave it to long, you will also need new shaft in column, then the cost will go up by about 400 bucks
likely a low power steering fluid problem , caused by a leak , if there is a grinding /whinnying noise at same time it`s probably this or a loose power steering belt
The steering gear box, probably. If it's power steering, it may be coming from the pump itself. This answer could be one of many things, if the grinding only happens while you are driving. Check to make sure your power steering fluid is full. Mine has a leak and every couple weeks it starts to grind when I turn right.
