When you turn your steering wheel your car makes a grinding noise?

I have found the grinding noise to be caused by either the power steering pump is low in fluid or a bad Power Steering pump. If you have a bad habit of turning the steering wheel all the way till you can't turn it anymore it will shorten the life of the pump. The pump is located usually in a convenient place under the hood and should have a knob labeled power steering so you can check it similar to checking your oil except the dip stick on the knob is real short. Take it out- Wipe off the dip stick - put it back in - take it out again and check the fluid level. Do not over fill - more is not better. You can buy power steering fluid at any auto supply store or Walmart in the automotive section.

I have a 1999 Ford Explorer and I was told about a grinding noise before I bought it. He told me that it was because it needs a new wheel baring. * If the vehicle is standing in place and the wheel is turned and there is a noise it could mean you need to add power steering fluid to the unit.
