I am a Festiva owner, I had the same problem as well. Turns out it was the front Axel's on the front passenger side and the driver side that was about to lock up, also had busted boots (the black rubber that protects the Axel's most sensitive parts from the elements.) It cost me $150 to replace but I knew a guy that only charged me $20 for the labor.

If you mean "what" is making noise when you turn the steering wheel? It usaually means you need power steering fluid.

I would have is burnished.
