A few things to look at: bad struts, dry ball joints (can you grease 'em?) Check tie rod ends (grease?). How are the rubber bushings? Also, check Power Steering lines and pump (plenty of fluid?). Also, get a friend to bounce the car up and down while you or somebody moves the wheel around. Might take three people to do this. One bouncer, one steerer and one looker. Sounds like a party to me.

On a 2001 Toyota Avalon How can you stop a squeaking noise while turning steering wheel?
The most common cause for a squeaking noise when turning the steering wheel on any vehicle, including a 2001 Toyota Avalon, is the belt that runs the power steering pump. If the belt is fairly new, a small drop of any dish soap on the belt while the car is running will clear up the noise. If the belt is worn, it needs to be replaced.
MY 1998 ford windstar van has a gear-gear pump noise starting at slow speed what can cause the noise it does not change if you turn the steering wheel or put the car in neutral while rolling?
Most likely problem on those vans is still the power steering pump.
Why does the steering wheel make noise when turning?
If the car is running at idle speed while you are turning, the power steering pump has to push a lot of fluid with little power. If it sounds like a slight creaking, then it's normal. If it is a high-pitched squeal, then the serpentine belt may need to be tightened or replaced. Either way is not that big of a deal. If it is a grinding noise and you can feel a jerking motion as you turn the steering wheel, then you have a serious problem and need to take it into a mechanic.

What causes difficult steering?
Faulty power steering pump, low fluid level, and improper belt tension are the most common. It can be causes by damaged or restricted power steering lines, steering gearbox, steering rack and pinion, seized tie rod ends, strut mounts, ball joints, over sized tires, and so on. If you hear a whining noise while engine is running suspect fluid loss or damaged power steering system component. If noise is more of a creek or squeak over bumps or while turning the wheel (no noise while engine running and not turning wheel or moving in gear) suspect mechanical steering or suspension component.
