i just got one. if i have the wheel in the center and then turn it left or right, there is a little bit of a hard spot on either side of dead center when turning the wheel, but then it's light as a feather once it gets going. i have no idea why it does it, but it's probably just how it is.
If the sound is a loud growling , whining, noise you're probably low on power steering fluid. Now the cause of the fluids loss is WHERE ?
Dead short either in wiring, sockets, or in steering column Remove bulbs and try turn signal switch if fuse still blows probable location in steering column
power steering fluid not filled?
Notchy feel when turning the steering wheel Noise from the pump area when wheels are turned Possible stiffness when turning steering wheel.
check power steering fluid level
Check out the bearings in the steering column and the knuckles in the steering shaft
Low steering fluid can cause a steering wheel to whine when turning. A worn steering belt can also cause a steering wheel to whine when a car is being turned.
The problem is probably in the steering gear. Clogged passages in steering gear. Leaks in steering gear.
This power steering pump will show all the same symptoms as all others:It will whineIt may leakThe fluid will turn darkThe steering wheel will become hard to turn when at a stop or when turning the wheel quickly when it was easy before.
Loose power steering belt/worn power steering belt/defective belt tensioner.
Try turning the steering wheel whilst turning the key, most peugeots have a built in steering lock.
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.
