Power Steering pump is low in fluids or the pump itself is bad. replace power steering pump if fluids checks out ok. makes sure not to over fill reservoir
I heard it was an intermediate steering shaft and cost around 130.00 dollars
Inspect the steering components, suspension, and brakes.
A scraping, ticking noise up high in the steering column is normally caused by the SIR coil. This is a coiled flat wire for the air bag. The noise does not harm anything. You have to replace the SIR coil. If the noise is down low, this could be due to a bearing in the steering column, or may even be a fault in the steering rack and pinion that transmits noise up the column. A dry boot at the firewall can also make noise. Try lubricating the rubber boot with a spray lube, like a good lithium grease.
i have heard that noise and I believe it is coming from the body frame connection and i also heard that u can get a kit to eliminate the noise. Ed
power steering fluid not filled?
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.
Unfortunately the power steering unit is on the way out.
Anytime I've ever heard a humming noise when turning the steering wheel on any vehicle,It has always been due to low power steering fluid
the dealership told me that it is due to the steering column needing to be lubricated
mine needed power steering fluid
the car may be low on power steering fluid
Notchy feel when turning the steering wheel Noise from the pump area when wheels are turned Possible stiffness when turning steering wheel.
